I don't understand why you got downvoted for citing facts. It seems, some readers in this thread do everything they can to not see the elephant in the room.

I think they but downvote for this comment because this approach is not very sensible. There is no point to say "you should write well and without mistakes". Moreover there is no point to recommend rewriting everything in a different language - it is impossible for large projects.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm showing how better-designed languages (which, to be fair to C++, have the benefit of over 20 years of hindsight) avoid some of the pitfalls you list.

Technical facts are much more offensive than you might think.
