The difference between C and C++ is that C has really basic memory unsafety, whereas C++ has very advanced memory unsafety

it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening. -
