C++ is technically safe if you follow best practices

Yeah but it's virtually impossible to reliably follow best practices. The compiler won't tell you when you're invoking UB and there is a lot of potential UB in C++.

So in practice it is not at all safe.

I agree

I was only adding my opinion (that people should try to always use the latest version of C++, which is inherently safer, but still not 100% safe)
