I use C++ all the time, undefined behavior is not something I encounter ever. I run undefined behavior sanitizer often.

From the looks of some of the posts showing up in this thread, I doubt the bulk of the commenters portraying UB as the root cause of any problem have any experience at all with C or C++. They are clearly resorting to unrealistic strawmen to pretend UB is something that it clearly is not. That just goes to show their technical background and the substance behind their claims. I really don't know how this helps advocating for Rust.
