Question

Language safety from the perspective of trapped and untrapped errors?

Answer

Trapped error: An error that causes immediate termination of the process.

Untrapped error: An error that does not cause immediate termination of the process, possibly corrupting it.

A safe language is one that does not have untrapped errors.
