Sure, but those people are not here, and usually aren't on HN anyway.

The internet is also full of people asserting that CVEs in C++ are only caused by not skilled enough devs, but I consider those people irrelevant too.

The reasons for rejecting C++ in this forum have been repeated often enough that you should have seen them by now: C++ has major systemic problems that don't exist in many other languages, including C.

It should be no surprise to you, at this point, that people choose almost anything over C++. The fact that "anything" also includes "C" is mostly incidental.

No one is asserting that they reject C++ because C is better, they typically reject it for concrete reasons, like the ones I pointed out upthread.

Yeah the same reasons as the flamewars on comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++.

WG21 could do a better job, but that least they acknowledge security has to be tackled somehow.

I've never seen that reason in comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++; I am skeptical that you have seen that reason.

Your implied claim that WG14 doesn't is incorrect, as you have been told before.

As you have equally been told before, I have still not been proven wrong by WG14 work output during the last decades since 1989.
