Well, you're the one asking for a comparison with C, and this subthread is generally comparing against C, so you tell us.

> Modern C++ provides a lot of features that makes this topic easier, also when programs scale up in size, similar to Rust. Yet without requirements like no universal aliasing. And that despite all the issues of C++.

Well yes, the latter is the tradeoff for the former. Nothing surprising there.

Unfortunately even modern C++ doesn't have good solutions for the hardest problems Rust tackles (yet?), but some improvement is certainly more welcome than no improvement.

Is it? Would you be able to show evidence to prove such a claim?
