I am not sure about that. Java has been around for some time now, but any Java developer can easily read code written 20y ago. I find c++ syntax terse and hard to read. A good example is the well know boost library. Even back in the days when I was coding in c++ on day to day basis, I have always found boost code hard to read and reason about.

You can read the code, but are you sure you understand all the JVM implications of how that code changed and which versions introduced what behaviours?
