• Kirill (6/6) Aug 05 2021 I've heard that there are plans to make D `@safe by default`.
• Dylan Graham (10/16) Aug 05 2021 The question pops up every few months, but I don't think anything
• Paul Backus (8/9) Aug 05 2021 The plan to make `@safe` the default was [DIP 1028][1].
• Kirill (2/11) Aug 05 2021 Thank you for the update.
• Patrick Schluter (4/10) Aug 05 2021 Even if it is implemented one day, there will be a command line

Then the question that pops into my head is what will happen to 
all the code that was written before it and once it is 
implemented?

Will it require a rewrite?

How should the code be written from now on to avoid this?

I assume that there will be a deprecation phase before that is 
implemented so that codebases and dependencies have ample time to 
adjust to upcoming changes, without breaking them in the meanwhile

Declaring ` safe:` at the top of your module sort of does the 
same thing. Try to use safe D where ever you can, and mark other 
things as ` trusted` and ` system` as appropriate.

 more experienced D users, feel free to correct me.

The plan to make ` safe` the default was [DIP 1028][1]. 
Ultimately, it was rejected due to lack of consensus regarding 
how `extern(C)` functions should be handled. Since then, no new 
plan has been made, and it is probably safe to assume that 
` system` will remain the default.

Even if it is implemented one day, there will be a command line 
option in the compiler to disable it exactly for the reason you 
brought up.
