With all due respect, Konrad can go f himself. Plenty of performant, non-foot-gun, alternatives to C++ these days. The choice of that language, and any abuses of it fall entirely upon Ferguson and his team.

And for this nugget:

“It’s also you, the software engineering community, that has made no effort to warn the non-expert public of the dangers of these tools.”

I say he deserves it without lube. Hardly a day goes by on Lobsters or HN where we (including many C++ devs) don’t complain at great length on what a reeking dumpster fire C++ is.
