For me it was mostly video games. I have vivid memories of teachers' being astounded by how much I already knew as far as elementary. Though it was funny that I knew what "sword" is but other more common words eluded me.

Writing modern safe c++ isn't really the hassle everyone makes out of. Besides smart pointers the clang's sanitizers go a long way.
I did try to pitch Rust at my corp but aforementioned safety checks are considered enough against the overhead of learning new language and I agree. Personally I don't like the Rc and Box syntax that's required to get a simplest homebrew version of even linked list going, C++'s metaprogramming hacks are rivaling that.
I wish the stigma against "unsafe" C++ was a bit more rational. People who use it aren't the kind fresh out of bootcamps and mostly realise the gains and risks. But maybe I'm skewed by my job which uses C++ and takes any risks seriously.

Dunno if just mobile problem, but most code has ^M instead of linebreaks; hard to browse oneline source
