"But if that's the problem, maybe you should simply switch to ... well almost any other language. Python/Java/C#/ML/Go/... all will not have most of the problems listed in this article. But there'll be a cost to pay in performance." The problem is that not a single one of the languages you list is a replacement for C++ in its most important use cases: real time, and small embedded systems. They're not good for real time due to GC (and/or poor performance, see Python). They're not good for small embedded systems due to GC and/or huge footprint. Swift is the only thing to come along in quite a while that might be a good replacement in a lot of cases.
