> C++ has so many features that taking over another codebase might actually feel like learning a new language. It is an actual problem, No; People keep repeating this as if it were a truism, but it is not borne out by any empirical evidence. Sure there is some learning ramp to understand a new style of programming but it is far more easier than trying to learn and express oneself fluently in a whole another language. This has been true both in my own experience and most of the people/teams i have worked with. See also the comment from "FpUser" in this thread echoing the same sentiments.
