A proposal to start “llvm-libc” (2020)

It’s much easier to write safer code in C++ than in C. You can still shoot yourself in the foot, but unlike C, modern C++ at least helps you avoid that.

If safety is a concern they would have gone the Rust route though. Is C++ easier to fuzz and statically analyze than C? I'd doubt that tbh.

I would say that you need to know alot more to get to the point where writing C++ is easier than C, though.
