Modern C++ is fantastic. Memory errors are rare and easily contained since data structures can be treated as values. It is flexible down to a very low level, but most programming can be done at a much higher level. Ignoring inheritance and using templates, you can just make programs about simple data structures and loops. No hacks needed to work around garbage collection or excessive memory allocation, it's great.
