You pipsqueaks want memory safety? We'll show you memory safety! We'll borrow that borrow checker

C++ is technically safe if you follow best practices
Yeah but it's virtually impossible to reliably follow best practices. The compiler won't tell you when you're invoking UB and there is a lot of potential UB in C++.
So in practice it is not at all safe.
I agree
I was only adding my opinion (that people should try to always use the latest version of C++, which is inherently safer, but still not 100% safe)
