Every time I hear people bashing C++ for not being memory safe, I somehow get reminded of the teens that were eating Tide Pods a few years ago. So let's put a big warning and lock away the Tide Pods because people might eat them. Well FFS, I just want to do my laundry and I know what I'm doing.

Sure, I introduced my share of memory bugs in C++ code early in my career when the standard was older and the (static analysis) tools were missing, but working with the modern C++ ecosystem now is a pleasure, and I don't want to have a hand tied behind my back and locked into the playpen with the Tide Pod gourmands for "safety". </rant>
