You cannot make a safe yet universal cutting tool. If it needs to cut, it can also cut the user. Its completely up to the user what he chooses to do with a knife and there have been many „accidents” with them. Yet we keep making and using simple knives in a form unchanged since before we could write.
I made a mistake in my code.
No, it must be the language thats unsafe!
If you cut yourself with a knife, it might be your fault. And it might be that the knife is sharp on both sides and has no handle.
