Everybody does not understand that otherwise there would be zero of these issues in shipping code.

This is the problem with the C++ crowd hoping to save their language. Maybe they'll finally figure out some --disallow-all-ub-and-be-memory-safe-and-thread-safe flag but at the moment it's still insanely trivial to make a mistake and return a reference to some value on the stack or any number of other issues.

The answer can not be "just write flawless code and you'll never have these issues" but at the moment that's all C++, and Go, from this article has.
