Open Source C++ Stack

Open Source C++ Stack

C++ is often labeled as "unsafe" and "complex," but I find these critiques unjustified. My experience working on major projects like Chromium, Node, and gRPC — each a non-trivial codebase deployed on millions of devices, both virtual and physical, and subject to rigorous scrutiny—has shown me the true power and reliability of C++. Let's not forget the remarkable engineering feats made possible by C++, such as Unreal Engine. Even Linux and Git, both written in C (arguably even less "safe" than C++), stand as testaments to the robust potential of these languages. There is a trick to writing C++ code…
