Null references redux

Nope. For example in Delphi and C# you can have a runtime integer overflow errors. That's another kind of safety.
If you look at safety-critical code, the one Walter was talking about, you see people test code (and compile time) very well, looking for an enormous amount of possible errors. Doing this increases code safety. So you can have ABS brakes, TAC machine in hospitals, automatic pilots and so on.
