It looks like you haven't used C++ in a while.

C++14 is a whole other world, and can be written with most (if not all) the safety guarantees you would expect from Swift or Rust.

I had to use it for a project and was very surprised about this too...

You're lucky if you get to use C++14 in the real world. My last C++ job was maintaining a 2 millions of line of legacy MFC code.

Even there one can write quite safe C++ code with help of CArray, CString, CComPtr, ...

I used MFC like that in the late 90's/early 2000.

The problem are the team mates that write Win32/C like code, instead of MFC/C++ code.

I wasn't trying to suggest that C++ was the cause of the compiler issues, just that Swift wasn't.
