That's two different things. If your program does not compile anymore because it was relying on undefined behaviour, it was wrong from the beginning and deserved it. It is completely different of old sane codebase not compiling anymore

By the sake of god, please stop to put C and C++ in the same basket when talking about security. It just show you do not know what you are talking about. Most security problems affecting C program DO NOT affect C++ programs. Stack smash, vl

That's my opinion for system language. And even if purely superficial, it has already more argument that the previous comment. But yes, if your language pretend to be a modern system language, you should yes. Not being able to write ge

Nothing blocks you to write CSS and transpile it to Rust at compile time to be designer / style friendly. That's anyway what the Web world does already with SCSS or the fashion to embed your styling directly in JS ....

You got it yes. And very few Software Engineer understand that unfortunately. The reason C is so successful is named ABI. C (and C++ to some extend) can be used to produce library that can be used from any higher level language in existence
