We all know some are irrationally, rabidly hostile to C++. The most hostile know least about it. But we need not try to accommodate them. Millions of working programmers use C++ successfully every day. Those using modern idioms have no greater trouble with memory safety than in other "memory-safe" languages. The unfortunate subset who treat it as "better C" for fear of learning anything new are nearing retirement. A good example of sensible use of modern C++ in kernel and essential utility code may be seen in the SerenityOS project.
