I write of code in both C# and C++ daily, have been doing it for ~15 years now, and maintaining an ancient codebase. I generally agree with TheRealPomax. C++ has problems but I personally find it more ergonomic than Rust (less than C# though) and I personally never had a memory issue in my own code. In other people's code, yes, there were some subtle ones, but I usually found those pretty quickly. It's not a perfect or even a good language, but IMO not a complete disaster.
