Redefining Memory Safety Without the Code Rewrite

Memory-safety issues have haunted C and C++ for decades, but CHERI offers a different path forward. David Chisnall's presentation focuses on how this hardware architecture redefines pointer safety, tackling spatial and temporal flaws while scaling down to microcontrollers through CHERIoT. What stands out is the practical angle: replacing heavyweight OS-level RPC with lightweight, auditable compartmentalization. This isn't a call for rewrites; it's an accessible upgrade path.
