This is interesting to me, as someone moving from a company that uses C++ to one that uses Rust. It feels like the whole culture of the former company is built similarly - no guardrails, no required testing, or code review, minimal "red-tape".
In effect, the core principles of the company (or at least, the development team of the company) end up informing which programming language to use.
I'm stunned so many people here can remember details as fine as the colour grading of a film. I couldn't remember specifics like that from 6 months ago, let alone 30 years ago when I was a child and wouldn't have had the thought to watch for cinematographic touches.

Markets can exist in non-capitalist societies. Markets exist to use money as a medium to convert one form of goods/labour into a different form of goods/labour. Capitalism meanwhile uses goods/labour as a medium to convert money into more money.
That was my single biggest pet-peeve of C++. A variable appears in the middle of a member function? Good luck figuring out what owns it. Is it local? Owned by the class? The super-class? (And in that case - which one?)
The added mental load of tracking variables' sources builds up.
