I think the gap between C++'s portrayal and reality is rather large.

@Allan_Baker

For C and C++, there are standards that the compilers follow, there are tools that can be used to check for problems,

And yet, as an example, 70% of vulnerabilities from Microsoft are from memory unsafeness (/blog/2019/07/we-need-a-safer-systems-programming-language/). No one will ever be able to explain away that in reality memory unsafeness from memory unsafe programming languages are the largest contributors to security problems in modern software.
