Often, not always, the other side of that shooting in foot is a very useful tool for another purpose. And it is unattainable to code review other libraries, put the hard stop at the API boundary. But yeah, that can force your hand in some decisions too... It's complicated I am of the mind that any language that is useful for general purpose or at least outside of small niche areas will provide many ways to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ does have a lot of them, but it also has a lot of tools.
