Typing ensures the functions to be applied the right way. So a safe
language must be typed, either dynamically (like LISP) or statically
(like O'Caml).
> - Isn't Lisp a safe language?
You can consider it as a degenerated version of O'Caml with only one
type (object):
type object =
| Integer of int
| String of string
| Cons of object * object
| Nil
...
Since functions (from objects to objects) can't fail (no core dump),
LISP may be considered as a safe language...
Sebastien.
