$100 says his response boils down to "just don't write unsafe code"

Edit: It did. He also said C++ is working to implement optional safety features, but tl;dr:

Of the billions of lines of C++, few completely follow modern guidelines

Pretty sure this is a No true Scotsman moment. (I've always wanted to bring this fallacy up but I never knew when lol)
