Ah, the old "programmers just need to be more disciplined when using C++".
Yeah, C programmers have never seen that argument before...

As if C programmers don’t have to be disciplined. Look if you are a C programmer you need to pick good parts of the language to write in as well. A beginner picked gets()? Oh the foes of the young and inexperienced. You picked VLA? Linus would breathe fire unto you.
A difference between C++ programmers and C programmers is that C++ programmers have the awareness to know their language has bad parts to avoid, but C programmers are oblivious to the bad parts until someone uses it, but otherwise sing paeans for the language.
