Read Original

The article critiques the claim that using modern C++ features eliminates memory safety issues. It provides examples, including std::string_view and lambda captures, to demonstrate how use-after-free and other vulnerabilities persist even with modern practices. The author concludes that the industry should migrate to memory-safe languages like Rust or Swift instead of relying on C++.
