Well, there is this:

The source mentions Python and Swift as "memory-safe languages," both of
which are implemented in C and C++. How does that work if C and C++
aren't memory-safe?
Cheers,

The same way Legolas can be called an elf even when the character is
being played by a human actor: by not making category errors.
Even if the compiler of a Swift program has a memory management failure,
that is not the fault of the Swift program, but of the compiler (and the
language it is written in that allowed it).
