Last year saw a proliferation of talks and articles about safety in C++. Lucian Radu Teodorescu gives an overview of these and presents a unified perspective on safety.
Governments triggered this entire discussion with their papers and plans to strengthen cyber defenses. The article states that some experts ask for our industry to be more regulated in this regard.
I am surprised that possible regulations are not even listed as a factor that in the decission to stay with C++ or move to something else.
Sure, COBOL is still around after decades, but nobody ever tried to pressure banks into replaceing that technology AFAICT.
