C/C++ don’t help you avoid any of these footguns.
But libraries like Boost do… if you’re writing in raw C++ you’re doing it wrong. A big part of the power of C/C++ is the mature and modern ecosystem built around it.

Yes, but nobody in their right mind will use boost at OS kernel or driver level. Also, using C++ has vtable/exception overhead. No-go. I worked at companies that tried both. They no longer exist.

if you’re writing in raw C++ you’re doing it wrong. So, C++ is the new Python?
