I wrote a proposal for memory safety in C++. It's in this month's WG21 mailing.

🔥🔥🔥 Sean is doing amazing work here, i hope this gets the reception it deserves. maybe there's hope for c++!

‪maybe the cultural problem with c and c++ is a lack of humility. people have staked their egos on being Smart Enough To Write Correct C. but nobody is immune from error. no amount of skill can completely save you from eventually cutting yourself if you work with sharp knives‬

@hikari I am fully aware that I am not smart enough to write good C++ (and C) that's why I avoid writing C++.

@hikari I've been trying to learn c++ and it makes me feel very sad. It's so easy to run into footguns
