I think we also choose our favorite programming languages based on our psychology, not only the technical features. The ones who like C and C++ are like Toretto from the Fast and Furious franchise choosing a classic muscle car for a race. They are super fast, give you much more options, but because of that, they are not the safest. A muscle car requires more skill to drive and win than a modern fast-shiny-and-safe car. But because you know they are more dangerous to drive, is likely that you will try to improve your skills to make it less likely to have an accident with it. Thats one of the reasons why im still skeptic to jump into the Rust bandwagon, once you turn into a good muscle car driver, its hard to choose for safer but more limiting options, but you totally get it why someone without experience in fasters cars would choose for the safer version.
