C++ Gets Safer With Every Version

WRITING RUST WHILE USING CARGO AS A C BUILD SYSTEM WHILE USING BINDGEN TO EXPOSE TYPE SAFE AND MEMORY SAFE ZERO COST ABSTRACTIONS WRITING NIGHTLY RUST AND ABUSING UNSAFE BUT HEAVILY TESTING/FUZZING C++17 IS COMPLETELY MEMORY SAFE ANYONE CAN WRITE MEMORY SAFE C++14 I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO CAN'T WRITE MEMORY SAFE APPLICATIONS IN C++03 I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A SEGFAULT WHILE WRITING K&R C MY X86_64 ASM HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS OR BUGS

A sequence of increasingly powerful glowing-brain images contrasts different programming languages and coding styles. It jokingly claims that newer C++ standards, Rust, and even assembly become progressively more memory-safe and bug-free, ending with absurd confidence about x86_64 assembly. The meme is used by programmers to mock language wars, exaggerated safety claims, and increasingly reckless levels of low-level programming.
