Wrong reasoning, friend:

Maybe C++ has rotted their brain to the point they can’t “get” the borrow checker.

Yeah, sure. Borrow checker fixes all. This is exactly the idiot attitude I am addressing.

And if I want a bug-free code, I will use same tool as ever: my brain

    I am not the person who said "C++ has rotted their brain". I have not expressed a similar sentiment. I have never said that "borrow checker fixes all", in fact I said that it will not magically fix everything.

    And if I want a bug-free code, I will use same tool as ever: my brain

    Is your brain infallible?

    The strategy is not to 100% eliminate every bug in existence or theory, bugs are inevitable. The strategy is Swiss cheese security.

    Something is better than nothing. Therefore (brain + something) > (brain + nothing). As long as "something" works to prevent bugs, to any extent, it will result in fewer bugs.

    Right. So what do you want with me?

    Is your brain infallible?

    No, but human brain is the only thing that can define bug

    As long as “something” works to prevent bugs, to any extent, it will result in fewer bugs.

    Any programming language does
