What is memory safety and what does it mean for Delphi development?
Background
Back in February, the US White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) released a report urging developers to build memory safe software.

I created a Bash script a while back for setting up Ubuntu for Delphi development, and update it for each new release. The script automatically installs all the required packages, along with PAServer. I recently updated it again due to an LLDB debugging issue.
