The biggest problem with C++ is that all real life production code is full of memory safety bugs. People usually just live with it. If you want to minimize memory safety issues, C++ becomes even harder than Rust.

STL containers usually makes things easier.

Usually the libraries deal with low level issues and are doing the hard work of increasing safety.

Safety will always has a cost somewhere.
