    In addition to the other comments -

    TypeScript deliberately takes a "good enough" approach to improving JavaScript, instead of designing an ideal but incompatible approach. For example, its handling of [function parameter bivariance](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...) is unsound but works much better with the existing JavaScript ecosystem. By contrast, a more academic functional programming language would guarantee a sound type system but would be a huge shift from JavaScript.

    By analogy, Herb Sutter is arguing that something like the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines), with tooling help in this new Cpp2 syntax, can bring real improvements to safety. Something like Rust's borrow checker would bring much stricter guarantees, backed by academic research and careful design, but would be incompatible and a huge adjustment.

  • C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?

    Another phenomenal resource is the ISO C++ core guidelines which is essentially a giant list of best practices of newer c++ features. These guidelines were a collaborative effort started by Bjarne Stroustrup who know a bit about c++. There is an entire section about resource management if you're interested in learning more about the newer facilities c++ offers in that regard to avoid the footguns, but there is a ton of other great information in there as well.

    Take a look at Effective Modern c++ by Scott Meyers and the ISO c++ core guidelines. These resources are great for learning how to write better, more modern C++. I don't think it would be hard to grasp if you're already familiar with the language, just make sure to actually write some code which makes use of this stuff, otherwise it's easy to forget.

    Look to the C++ Core Guidelines. It's not perfect, it has some flaws, including some sabotaging advice apparently adopted for political reasons. But at least it has some C++ authorities (Bjarne and Herb) as authors.

    C++: Not memory safe and tons of ceremonial to avoid UB and have actually well defined objects, semantically: for example, rule of five. Needs to follow a huge number of "core guidelines", https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines, many of the most important are not automatically enforceable by tools. No enum types, invisible codepaths everywhere due to exceptions. Stupid textual-inclusion compilation model meaning that you need to manually track which headers should actually be included in a file (in particular, when reviewing changes to that file that may or may not render some header inclusions useless). Namespace system where the namespace is not inferred from the file/package, but explicitly declared in the file, meaning that name collisions are possible (and result in an ill formed program, no diagnostic required. Once had to debug a colleague's ODR violation that made even valgrind segfault... very fun afternoon) and should be watched for in review. No unsafe and anything could be UB, so have to be paranoid about everything that is being done.
