Hi. In the linked "confessions" blog you've taken the path of making some claims about a topic and supported them through who you are, instead of facts. People who disagree with your claims will question if who you are is relevant.

C++ is difficult, and there are few experts. My thesis is that one doesn't need to be an expert to write safe C++ code, but they do need access to quality libraries focused on safety, and good practices focused on safety. Banning some unsafe C functions, saying "use smart pointers" or making a list of UB is useful, but not enough.

C++ can be written much more safely than it normally is, but it seems that's not happening. I'm not sure why, it could be that the performance loss of additional runtime verification is not acceptable, that the adequate learning resources are not available or that it's not an important topic for the C++ community.

P.S: I'll gladly have the kind of error you linked to. It's at compile time, I will try to figure it out and worst case rewrite my code. UB is the problem.
