C++ is a great language, the sub culture that keeps unsafe C patterns alive in the language, not so much.

Example, back in the heyday of C++ frameworks bundled with compilers, bounds checking strings and collection arrays were the default.

Nowadays you either call at(), have your own bounded checked types, or enable the debug library, but naturally without influence on 3rd party depedencies.
