Rust is the only language I know that systematically tests new compilers against a big real-world corpus: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/regression-reports-stable-2015-09-17-vs-beta-2015-10-02-nightly-10-06/2737 amazing!
Incredibly, there are already proofs regarding memory safety of the Rust model: ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/tr/2015/03/UW-CSE-15-03-02.pdf
