Yes, it is harder to write correct software in C++ than in other languages. But if the project you are working on needs to be written in C++, explicit coding standards and the general project environment can play a huge role in whether it is a lot harder, or just a little bit. I can point to one policy that guarantees safety becomes much easier: prefer modern C++14 idioms whenever possible.
