The average C++ code base has as many segfaults than the average C code base.
Windows has more exploits than Linux. But you know all that, so I wonder why you keep making these statements, which are then upvoted by the "memory-safe" crowd.

any source for that ? I find segfaults utterly rare in C++ >= 11
Besides I'm pretty confident that there are more new c++ projects created daily in 2021 than monthly at the peak of the 90s c++ craze - just on GitHub, 6/7% of C++ repos means a few million recent C++ repos.
__s and you said "You were using C++ >= 11 in 90s/00s?" to which I answered that this was not the point, because the average C++ code base isn't from the 90s/00s.
Polls of hobbyist coders, or software houses? I would be surprised if most software houses migrated to C++17 yet. Tensorflow is stuck on C++03 I think.
I'm referring to e.g. the Jetbrains and cppcon polls.

In 1992, I was working on the Taligent project, probably the first major C++ operating system. (It failed.) I remember when the ARM came out---none of the compilers we had available could really do templates. Or namespaces.
Besides even on MS-DOS with frameworks like Turbo Vision, RAII was a common pattern.
