“But those people aren't going to join language committees.”
This is amusingly wrong in the worst way. In the case of c++, they were there but they left years ago when it became clear the committee didn’t see this problem as existential
And in the old days, as I keep telling, many of us (users) prefered C++ over C, exactly due to the safety and stronger typing.
