Though they may seem more similar in syntax now that python is introducing faux static typing, C++ is definitely not "the new python" imo. The tooling around C++ is still a maze of its own, it doesn't have a proper packaging system, STL errors are still an unreadable mess in gcc (clang does a better job), and you probably won't be using the new syntax in mid-sized and larger companies. If I have to whip something up quickly, python nearly looks like the pseudo-code your would write on your paper napkin, while C++ will make you battle with pointers, references, and static typing first. For a larger project, you're better off with Rust, Go, or pretty much anything else.
