Avoiding smart pointers and third party fancy stuff, should do the trick. And most of the critical applications runs on embedded systems, that have their own simplified, hardware specific compilers.

You can blow your foot off with Rust too, but it's a bit more explicit.

I dont like "safe" languages, because all safety features are brakes. C++ is dangerous and thats why faster than the rest.

I like C and C#, but I never really cared for C++.
However, I wish C# were more like C++ -- multi-paradigm and multiple-inheritance.
In my opinion, they made C# too much like VB and not enough like C++.
I don't actually do much that requires OOP, so I find C# forcing me to define a class rather irksome.

Just to provide some counter balance here before we all go and slit our wrists.
We can continue saying people suck now...
Maybe...
But people are generally awesome...
Then again maybe I'm playing Devil's advocate...

Very, very, generally. 
Actually, no. I won't even go that far. Sorry, but there are a lot of people that actually, truly, do totally suck. The kind of suckage that occurs the better you get to know them, their acts, their thinking, and the longer they continue to breath oxygen. If you want deep thoughts, you gotta face the truth.

Are there lousy people out there? Totally. I can think of a few I'd rather have not have known. But then again, I'm still glad I did know them so I can appreciate the good ones.
Most "lousyness" is out of ignorance and fear and poor communication skills anyway.
There are wonderful people out there too. It'll be harder to find them if we always focus on the lousy ones though.
Yeah I must really love playing devil's advocate.

True, and the ironic thing is I upvoted your post anyways, because there's the other half of me that sees that glass as half full. Today I'm having a half-empty day.

Hah! Thanks! Besides work being the grinding wheel for dull knives, a very beloved member of the community up here succumbed to pancreatic cancer a few days ago and today we went to a viewing / memorial.
And I really need to kick out my tenant in the trailer home followed by selling it. It's a very nice park actually (bucks the "trailer trash" image, there's several parks up here that are really quite nice), and she does no upkeep, and lies about the upkeep she claims to have been doing, so that's on the agenda.
On the other hand, I'm having a blast with my client's software, tweaking the local club server that manages the Beaglebones to report the room status to the cloud server and writing the web page with bootstrap and jqxwidgets to view the room status live, on desktop and mobile devices. Learning more coolness of bootstrap and CSS media every day.
If you ever make you're way up to NYC, let me know and I'll come down from Hudson - would love to meet you!

I know right? It's only been years. I need to visit NY. My brother has... twice. I know the next trip I have planed is to go back to Louisiana in October for my high school reunion. But, a visit to NY would be awesome.
Sorry to hear about the bloke that passed. Nothing really seems genuine to say in moments like these, but it's always nice to know people are thinking about it.
One of my old buddies was into section 8 land lording for a while, back in New Orleans. He pretty much broke it down to me like this, a lousy tenant will make your life hell. End of story. 
Oh, and every now and again I still think about MyXAML.
Intentionally overlooked the fact you're using JavaScript right now...

 Well said!
I currently have the displeasure of being my brother-in-law's 'best friend'. He's a retired type-a that calls me just about every day (usually while I'm working) to tell me about his latest doctors appointments or daily highlights such as washing the car, etc. He's coming for the weekend to 'take a break' (from retirement???) and probably rearrange my garage again.  Lucky me!

Most people are inherently good.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Or more accurately, most of the people we choose to associate with are inherently good.

... Are inherently good to us.
I don't believe in evil (in general, there are exceptions of course), I do however believe in egoism.

Yes, I rather agree with you on egotism being the problem.
I can't imagine that Hitler actually woke up every morning saying "Muhaha! I'm going to be even more of a rotten little s**t than I was yesterday", I'm sure that he genuinely thought that he was doing some kind of good for humanity by virtue of his own "brilliant" ideas.
Equally, those that raped, tortured, killed and stole on his behalf were probably thinking more on the lines of "I'm such a wonderful servant to my glorious leader" than "Ha! Get me! I'm a right evil git, I am!"
How many of us really believe that we're not on the side of the angels? Very few, I would guess. Does the state of the world back up that belief? Well, that one's kind of rhetorical ...
