Is it a hot take to believe that no humans are infallible and that only languages with memory safe guarantees can offer the kind of safety the author seeks? With the advent of rust, c and c++ programmers can no longer argue that the performance tradeoff is worth giving up safety.
There are, of course, other good reasons to choose c and c++ over rust. And of course rust has its own warts. just pointing out that performance and memory safety are not necessarily mutually exclusive
