Here’s a simple point for you to consider. Let’s assume you and your team are 10x devs with perfect knowledge and use all the right tools. What happens when you guys leave or someone who isn’t up to your standard contributes, or is a junior dev?
Imagine all the best tools and all the best and memory safe features all rolled up to one called Rust.
Lastly, with C++ there are many situations where the memory unsafe actions are not caught until they are triggered dynamically. So like others have mentioned, you’d have to have the best test suite combined with the best of fuzzing etc.
Or you can just use Rust where nearly everything is caught at compile time with useful errors and when something funky does happen at runtime it will just panic before you cross into UB/ unsafe land
