Wow. Haven't gone near C++ for 12+ years. It done got weird.

  That's exactly what I thought. Not used it professionally for a while (and then older compilers) and vaguely knew there were a lot of changes around memory management. But was it that hard before? Constructors, destructors and operators were fine... weren't they?

  This is why Go and Rust are coming into their own. C++ is a clusterf*ck of complicated design decisions (note, I didn't say bad, just complicated). It's certainly a powerful language for systems development but one has to wonder if it needs to be. Anytime I see a language overdo it on the features, my sense is that they need to step back and survey the landscape of developers before they decide to add more stuff.
