both equally wrong. and it's _fine_ to want better tools. but we need to use the right tool for the job.
doing something that involves lots of dynamic allocation and ownership and especially strings might be very hard to do in a memory-safe fashion in C or C++ but conversely there are plenty of other kinds of code that actually are "easy" to write, and verify, to be memory safe.
to assert that language A is overall "better" or even just "safer" then language B without knowing the details is presumptuous. [to be clear TFA is highly presumptuous too]
