Already all fixed in C++.

And I don't know why now everything has to be beginner friendly. Then just use a high level language. C++ is never advertised as a high level language it's a mid-level language.

Still with that even C++ has never shut down my computer or bricked my computer even once.

All these young people are just too spoiled.

Also in my experience, but you have to take my word for it, C++ "feels" more mathematically correct than Python.

For me as an experienced developer Python has more undefined behaviour because it executes slightly different every time. The delays are different, threads work inconsistently.

It's a bit like the metaphor that our brain is so big with so many small rules that it feels like you have free will.

That's how Python feels. Somewhere in the millions of lines it generates there are bugs. I can sense it. Not enough to make it crash but they are there.
