I have to point out that the very name "C++" is a security vulnerability in said language. I learned to program in C, during the dawn of the Internet. Yes, the "I can do anything on the machine" power was fun. But when considering all C/C++ code is completely insecure by default, it really shouldn't be used to build anything new that processes untrusted input (which is just about everything). There are a few decades worth of mature alternatives that should be considered first, plus a few newcomers like Rust and golang.
