Herb Sutter on increasing safety in C++

No, I'm pretty sure that C++ doesn't need a "community" of anxious, self-righteous authoritarians whose feeling of safety in pulling each other's first project as their 400th dependency must be protected at all costs. I'm also pretty sure that kernel developers never acted that way.

It seems to me that you're just safety-washing your newfound zealotry here. This is nothing new of course; the software industry has always had its various cults, each with its own brand of religious fervour.
