C++ is an awful language that requires too much thinking. Make a mistake and you'll pay for it with hidden memory leaks and segfaults. It offers no help. No other mainstream language is quite so unforgiving. Rust, Go, and Swift will hopefully relegate it to the dustbin. (Of the three, only Rust is suitably non-GC'd for bare metal requirements.)

C++ is the Soyuz space capsule. You'd better pack a gun, because there might be bears where you land.
