I did a lot of C++ years ago, so maybe things have changed since then, but I think Rust and Go addressed a lot of the design flubs of C++.
My experiences getting things to compile across gcc and visual c++, dealing with strings (especially Microsoft's WCHAR), reliable integer sizes (pre stdint.h), and debugging templates were not things I would wish on anyone.
Re-doing some of my side projects in Go and Rust was a lot more enjoyable. I could focus on what I was doing instead of trying to work around deficiencies in the language and its libraries.
