I'm with you. I like some of the changes in the C++ language. But I don't love the C++ 3rd-party ecosystem. Python's is very healthy. C++ is so unconcerned with modules they've been kicking the feature down the road spec by spec. I think it's now 'post-17'. (could be wrong). Rust is a language that's in the perf class of c++ but has built-in lifetime support and built in modules. It's ten times easier to do database or, say, SDL interaction in rust. And rust is barely 1.0! I don't know anyone who programs who doesn't use a ton of libraries. C++ just hasn't prioritized this part of programming.
