Fully agree, mankind would be better without C and C++.

But given they are the current mainstream options for the time of applications they are used to, better use modern C++ like you are advocating and stay as far as possible from any pure C constructs.

Additionally use static analyser, enable all warnings as errors and turn on pedantic mode.
