When Zig is safer and faster than Rust

At least C++ is enormous and you can find a sane subset that you enjoy using. And C++ can be pretty safe with smart pointers.

Unfortunately there is always that clever one than can't let go of writing C style code, regardless of what kind of pointers are being used.

It is one of my favourite languages, but I also acknowledge that C compatibility is a big pain point for security.

This almost works until you have to integrate with other people's C++ code and find out they picked a different subset to you.
