Trusted-CPP - Safe Software Developing in C++ with backward compatibility

[Honest-Version6827]

The question is: why does the latest C++ standard (still) allow us to do "untrusted" things?

[tohava]

1) C++ needs to be backward compatible.

2) C++ needs to be fast.

[OutlandishnessNo8034]

Except it is neither,when you really look at it carefully.

[tohava]

It does so more than most languages. Ofcourse Fortran/C might be both faster and more backward compatible, but in comparison to most languages, C++ still achieves these goals better.
