That first link is about a document from 2006, while C++ became a lot safer with C++11 in 2011. It’s much easier to write safe C++ now, if you follow current guidelines:
Print from html to PDF in a browser was 708 pages, so maybe half that if printed like a book (less whitespace etc.). About like a Rust textbook. Still a lot I guess.
I would say the standard has changed. The current guidelines require you to use features that didn’t exist before C++11. C++11 was a huge change and it made C++ a lot nicer. The updates since then have generally been improvements but more incremental than revolutionary.

Dude core guidelines is like 2000 pages, C++ is a meme language

Well I’m old so I need a larger font size
Yeah the standards for safe C++ haven’t changed, no matter how much the language changes.
