The time for the c++ committee to show they can overcome the language’s issues has passed IMHO there are much better, and more expressive, alternatives.

I'm not sure if this is a good take.

Languages deemed "safe" boil down to two features: supporting specific memory management strategies, and adding static code analysis checks that enforce rules and best practices.

Can't this be done already without involving committees?

That works only if memory safety is optional. Additions of the language features needed for mandatory memory safety are backwards incompatible.
