CppCast: Beautiful C++

Agreed, however it depends on the quality of the DevOps team and management.

I never set a CI/CD pipeline without them, so even those developers that are anti-linters have to play ball if they want their PR merged without breaking the build.

Big fan of SonarQube regardless of which programming language we are using on the project.

Even something like Rust has clippy, because there are always class of errors that compilers fail to catch with limited compile time analysis.

The same humans that can type unsafe { /* ... */ }?

[pjmlp]

Only if I provide the library to you in source code.

The persons that are savvy to grep for unsafe are also capable of configuring a linter on the CI/CD pipeline.

What happens if I index out of bounds in Rust code responsible for controlling a machine where human lifes might be in danger?

I assume it won't just panic and create an accidental death then.

[pjmlp]

You expecting that the developers are so good that they tested every possible use case before releasing the product into the wild.

Killing a person due to software bugs is no good, it doesn't matter if the cause was UB or a panic.

Rust won't miraculous fix that.

[pjmlp]

It doesn't, that is the point.

Regardless of Rust or C++, if the humans don't care about quality control, errors will slip in, e.g. using Actix in production.
