Tricky. I prefer C and use it at home for fun. C++ is strictly for work. But I also like to program in ways that are safe by construction, and C++ gives me tools like unique_ptr and std::vector for doing that. But I agree those tools are limited. The class of bugs which C++ protects you from are the shallow ones. Coding with discipline will prevent more bugs than switching to C++. Languages with real memory safety however are a genunie step up. Rust for example makes it painful to not code with discipline. Unfortunately I find it makes programing painful in general -- so I am still waiting for a safe language that is as much fun as C.
