My main qualm is lumping together C and C++. It's like lumping together Rust and JS, because they're both memory safe. But Rust is WAY more safe. JS is, overall, an extremely footgunny language. In my view, the jump from C to C++ is about the same as the jump from Rust to JS, potentially even bigger.
