> Thread safety has not usually been a concern because it’s pretty rare to use raw threads in C++. Rust folks always seem to assume people write C++ like it is 1995.

What kind of charmed life do you lead to where use of reliable abstractions over threads is common in C++ codebases you touch?

My experience has been the exact opposite.

Okay, can you try and find a relatively modern large open source C++ codebase that actively uses raw threads?
