minus-squareFizzyOrangelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months ago C++ is technically safe if you follow best practices Yeah but it’s virtually impossible to reliably follow best practices. The compiler won’t tell you when you’re invoking UB and there is a lot of potential UB in C++. So in practice it is not at all safe.
