C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you did not know rope could do that you should have read the manual.
It’s like a chainsaw with all the bells and whistles but all the safety features removed. Sure you can chop wood with it really fast and probably stone too if you #include diamondteeth library, you can even hammer in nails if you #include hammer. But you are alone responsible for your safety and it’s probably not the best tool for any given job.
The incredible thing about this chainsaw is that no two people use it the same way. You think you knew most things about the chainsaw until you see someone else use it. They use a completely different technique, holding it in a way you never considered a possibility, and use buttons you didn’t know were even there - let alone what they are for. They’re equally mystified in terror when they see you use the chainsaw.
No chainsaw in the world can prevent you from chopping your leg off. Modern ones have a kickback bar, safety throttle, chain catcher, centrifugal clutch etc making it harder.

No programming language in the world can keep you from shooting yourself in the foot.

True, but some make it easier than others. In some cases, they default to foot shooting, you have to work to shoot elsewhere.
The bells and whistles would need to be pretty loud to be heard over the regular chainsaw operation noises
