Allot of time and attention has been going towards an unsolvable and irreverent problem. With imaginary nonsense solutions like rusts bower checker promising it will fix everything.

There cant be a complete solution, if you could decide where a pointer could point with 100% accuracy why not decide the halting problem? While there trivial partial solutions like... drum roll slices, note slices are data structure and not "code coloring" and deal with indexing.

If you want safer code, provide nice to use data structures that provide clever, partial solutions on opIndex. Not @safe vs unsafe vs @live vs whatever code coloring hell.

I do not care and will never lift a finger to use safe code, and if you quickly survey what people do and not say, we are no where near mathematical perfect safety, instead my passwords are trivial to find online, people rarely care about strong password, users are a weak point, and credit card numbers end up as plain text by fortune 500 companies paying thru the nose for fake security.

99.999% of physical locks are trivial to pick, and your life is harder to back up and arguably more important then your data; yet society functions and moves on. Why is that, if I "need" a 16 character password and 3 factors of authentication to protect my 10$ on paypal?

Please dont spend any more time on code coloring.

Ai's generate grammatically correct sentences without insight; I produce grammatically incorrect sentences which are deeply insightful. I don't understand the confusion.

I'm not a fan of function coloring, but there are some instances where it's OK I think. For example, when dealing with safe and trusted code, function coloring can help to identify a potential issue. But yeah, good data structures are always better than function coloring or bower checker stuff.

@live doesn’t colour anything because it doesn’t affect which functions you can call, which has been argued is one of its shortcomings.
