> One of the big problems with C++ is that few people actually do this. It basically requires putting a linter into your build process, to check for C-isms and unsafe C++ behavior. Otherwise, people will use these things because they are easier.

Which is one reason, why although I like C++, I am happy to only use it in side project, and mostly settle with JVM/.NET stuff for work nowadays.

Most of the enterprise code bases I have seen on my career, are mostly C with Classes style and most companies don't use analyzers. I was quite happy when Clang introduction started to change the mentality in regard to analyzers.
