These aren't from Bjarne, but are from C++ people.

Interesting choice to end the article by name-dropping Log4Shell which is practically at the opposite end of vulnerability spectrum - a culture of feature bloat gone off the rails.

A fine sentiment. But that barn door is off it's hinges.

Good luck. NSA loves C.

Is C++ now a part of the other party’s platform? I really want to see political ads decrying the anti-American use of Rust. Not.
