20 year C++ programmer here. I work on multithreaded server code. Stopped using modern C++ features 5 years ago. I'd compare my use of C++ to be roughly equivalent to the use of C++ in the NodeJS project or the V8 project. I'm not a user of Boost. I have to agree with the author of the article. It takes longer to train developers to write idiosyncratic modern C++ code and compilation times explodes. Compiler support for bleeding edge C++ features is spotty at best. Harder to reason about the correctness of modern C++ code.
