> I'm completely ignorant about C++, so I will ask this question: What's the state of memory management in modern C++? Is it easier to avoid shooting yourself in the foot? Can you write code that is completely safe? I would not say completely safe if we only consider the language, but on the rare occurence of a memory bug, usage of asan / ubsan of GCC and Clang (both have different sets of checkers), -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG and clang-tidy, it's frankly impossible to have this kind of bugs. Just running by default with -fsanitize=address -fsanitize=undefined will help you to trivially eliminate so many bugs it's not even funny. However, you fight the language much less than in Rust in my experience, and if you don't do memory allocations directly but instead use <vector> and others it will be a breeze.
