>>The same could be said, and was said for Go compared to Java C#, etc just a few years ago. And it probably can still be said, as older languages have much more stable, richer ecosystems, support, tooling, and use bases. I don't say that you should never use C++. Sometimes it's a necessary evil but that doesn't make it a great/pleasant choice(at least for me). >> Great ecosystem and tooling I think it could be considered GREAT 20 years ago but now it is miserable compared with the new languages. For example it has no kind of distribution model(i.e package manager). Cross platform compiling is no fun... C++ parsing is no fun either so you could say that its syntax is quite important if you were to develop new tools.
