I'd put even more concerns on C++. All the same concerns plus all the concerns that arise from the compiler not helping you nearly as much. It's easy with C++ to be lulled into a false sense of security because it compiles, and your trivial happy path works. Under load or with unforeseen input, the chance for memory corruption is massive even for experts let alone beginners because it only takes one to bring down a whole process.

C++ is better than it used to be, but it was truly atrocious in that regard for decades. It was simply the least worst option for those decades.

I do not consider it the least worst option anymore.
