THE EMPIRE OF C++ STRIKES BACK WITH SAFE C++ BLUEPRINT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Safe C++ Extensions proposal, recently published by the C++ community, aims to address the challenge of ensuring that C++ code is free of memory safety bugs. Private and public sector organizations have been pushing programmers to write new applications and rewrite old ones in memory safe languages over the past two years. The majority of serious vulnerabilities in large codebases come from memory safety flaws. The Safe C++ project adds new technology for ensuring memory safety, preventing users from writing unsafe code. It allows existing code to work as always and ensures stakeholders have control for incrementally opting into safety.
