I think there's a much higher chance of running into UB on C++ vs C due to the complexity of the language. That's why I don't touch C++ and only use C if a higher level language isn't available. I can understand the C language in its entirety, whereas that's really not feasible with C++, especially at the edges.

So I think it's absolutely fair criticism of C++, but a little tired for C.
