> "C++ is unsafe by design," he said. "It gets you down to the metal," a term that means that the code runs very fast because it can be read directly by the hardware, "but it is unsafe."

Hmm...



Ya I read that too. Unsafe just sounds like a word used by marketing fools to sell sell sell. And C++ can be directly read by the hardware? I'm not even sure what that means. Additionally, C++ has tons of abstractions. It's tons of templates and OOP don't scream down to the metal and i also guess you can't use threads in C++ and that's why it sucks so bad for multi cores. You learn something new everyday.
