Would it be possible to achieve near-Rustiness with modern C++14 and tons of warnings/errors enabled?


Mozilla has several million lines of C++ code. Do you think they would invest substantially in creating an entirely new language with a new ecosystem and from-scratch Servo rewrite if their C++ code could be made secure with C++14 and tons of warnings?


Is that a no?
