The real curious thing is serious C/C++ folks seem like one of the least likely groups imaginable, to want to undergo humiliating and embarrassing blunders…

Yet they seemingly don’t mind that it practically guarantees them to make blunders over and over again.

We call them blunders mostly because the solutions are so well known.

In contrast, the last company I worked for did everything in typescript and the amount of problems caused by code that blocked the main event loop was staggering. And at that, our best JavaScript people generally just threw up their arms saying there wasn't a good way to fix it.

Between the two, I prefer a language that lets me fix problems.
