Is that really your reaction to C++? These days when selecting a critical infrastructure component I'm very inclined to prefer memory-safe by default, like rust or (somewhat less so) golang. Sure, C/C++ projects that have been around and under attack for years (redis, postgres, etc) are fine but they've had those years of battle testing. For a new project I really feel a lot safer if they're built in something more failsafe.
