C++ is already very safe if written in a modern style. Ive not had a real modern C++ program crash or UB on me in a while. It would be interesting to translate old C++ to modern C++, which should be pretty easy

I am happy for you. I once liked c++ but after years of writing it professionally. I am done. You have to fight c++ to get things working which obfuscates problems in the code. Safety comes from simplicity -- c++ is never simple. I could rant about this for hours. But in my opinion rust is a better language and the one we as software engineers should get behind for safe systems. C++ is old and needs to be retired.

  Sure, we can start by rewritting LLVM/GCC or CUDA/HIP/SYCL in Rust then, or maybe get some foundation to sponsor that work.

    Not to be that guy, but tell me one successful rust rewrite that ended up being less buggy or more reliable
