Problems with memory management are a fading memory when coding modern C++. All the things Rust advocates insist cannot be done safely in C++ are now trivial.

Problems with memory management are a fading memory when coding modern C++. All the things Rust advocates insist cannot be done safely in C++ are now trivial. Use-after-free, leaks, buffer overruns, what-have-you, no longer need any attention to avoid if you stick to modern C++. Some people insist on coding as if it were C, and bring along all of C's failings. Leave them behind.
