Perhaps, but here’s a question:

Can you really tell me, that any C++ codebase doesn’t have memory safety bugs?

The last decades have shown that almost every C++ codebase has a bug somewhere, as long as you look hard enough. That’s not a good state of affairs.

C++ is a reactionary language. The programmer assumes they are an expert who can use it safely, there’s just a few exceptions or mistakes here and there and that’s normal.

Using memory safe languages is a programmer knowing they will mistakes, that they aren’t that smart despite their best efforts, and mitigating the opportunity.

Avoid near occasions of sin.
