The Dave Abrahams comment in the questions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB_289NxBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB_289NxBk "We got a lot of mileage in Swift, saying no to things" and "You're not going to get to a simpler language by adding features". I've taken two comments (I don't feel that they're out of context), and they're 100% correct. As is your comment about learning the 5% part. > I really wish a good, well-maintained, modern (as in, actually break stupid compatibility, just fuck it. It's 2021 for God sakes) C++ existed. I often joke to my colleagues and say that C++42 will be equal to D today, or in fact D from 5 years ago.

I also liked his take on safety.

Isn't Swift considered to be one of the more complex languages? https://www.quora.com/Which-features-overcomplicate-Swift-What-should-be-removed/answer/Rob-Rix https://www.quora.com/Which-features-overcomplicate-Swift-Wh...

  It depends what you're comparing it to. If you look at every computer language, then perhaps, but C++ is still leagues ahead in complexity.

  Swift is indeed a complex language, although relatively simple when compared against C++20.
