In Java, no method call is safe (Haskell/Rust safe), the langage will hapilly throws a null pointer exception or an out of memory error.

But I don't think C#, Kotlin or Scala are less safe than Java even if they do not have the concept of checked exceptions.

Haskell and Rust can also throw exception/panic respectively in any call, ever.

Technically true, but Haskell forces you to use the IO monad and you can not really recover from a panic in Rust, the thread is dead.

No monad, nothing, just an exception.

Good point...
