All those memes picturing C++ as unsafe and unstable yet the server that serves these memes is running mostly C/C++ and has an uptime of months.

Lemmy is written in Rust. There might be bits of C at the periphery behind bindings.

Using modern C++ you can write much cleaner, more usable, and really safe code
