The answer to C++ cruft always seems to be use the "modern" subset of the language. But there are three issues with that:
1. You have to interface with older libraries that overuse terrible behavior.
2. The hallmark of a junior developer is an overuse of features. Using a subset takes discipline.
3. Some things are just permanently broken or so hidden you don't even realize you are using a "feature".
That's why I'm just going to stick with Rust. I have no interest in the "let's put a wig and lipstick on the C++ pig" train.
