@katzenmann Assumption idiomatic C++ would crash more than C is (from my experience) wrong (and my delivered fully C++ embedded system to 50k customers).
Then I don't thing on a large project Zig would less likely crash than C as it doesn't have inherent safety enforcement, it's just nicer language to use with some ideas similar to Go.

@michalfita Idiomatic C++ is kind of funny to say as the Language has soo many features. I've heard that everyone who uses it has a different set of features they find acceptable to use. But I'm sure you can write stable programs in C++. But it's easier to write unstable software and I'm not well versed in it so I would probably end up writing garbage. I like this rant by Linus Torvalds. He's probably overreacting but it's funny and he's got some points: https://lwn.net/Articles/249460/
