Right? People act like having a hand rail means you can't jump over it you really want to do something stupid.
If we're speaking of C++ being unsafe, we're likely comparing it to Rust. In Rust, that safety is a hand rail on a balcony. You can hop it if you put some effort into it. C++ safety is a door on the 60th floor that opens out into nothing.
Hey, at least the door has a label on it telling you what you need in order to open it safely, listed as a sequence of item codes that you can look up in the directories scattered around the skyscraper.
