A good way to compare is to take something that is easy but easily
fuckupable, like cycling an int between it's bounds in C++. Implement a
cyclic buffer in both languages, show iteration over the container. Show
the use of modular types for the index and the for x in container loop
notation.

And shoot down the bullshit argument if "any good Programmer wouldn't make
that mistake" because it can happen to anyone.
