It's not just that. Debugging segfaults and UB can be an absolute nightmare.

The C++ committee still haven't learnt their lesson. I recently learnt about C++20 coroutines, which are pretty neat, if complex (there are pretty much no good learning resources about them). However they are still putting unnecessary UB footguns in it.

Reminds me of how I found some safety measures to be in China some years back, basically those were signs saying "plz don't fall to your death, if you do it's your fault"

Maybe a "pragma strict" where every deprecated is an error and not a warning?
