I'm asking this into the comment section, since I'm curious if anyone has checked:

Does Zig fill this space in any way? It still allows manual memory management but offers more protections, the specifics I'm unclear on.

Zig is something like this for C, but not C++. There are a number of ongoing attempts to do something like this for C++, but it is very hard and they are all way behind Rust in terms of mindshare.
