I dramatically prefer modern C++ to either of Python or Rust in domains where it's a toss up. It's really nice these days.

Like any language that lasts (including Python and Rust) you subset it over time: you end up with linters and sanitizers and static analyzers and LSP servers, you have a build. But setting up a build is a one-time cost and maintaining a build is a fact of life, even JavaScript is often/usually the output of a build.

And with the build done right? Maybe you dont want C++ if youre both moving fast and doing safety or security critical stuff (as in, browser, sshd, avionics critical) but you shouldnt be moving fast on avoinics software to begin with.

And for stuff outside of that "even one buffer overflow is too many" Venn?

C++ doesn't segfault more than either of those after its cleared clang-tidy and ASAN. Python linking shoddy native stuff crashes way more.
