Hardly miserable. But we do need to address the fact that people are not starting new projects in C++. It is a fact, and that fact has a well understood reason.

Hardly miserable. But we do need to address the fact that people are not starting new projects in C++. It is a fact, and that fact has a well understood reason. Solving that issue the regular way, through implementation, committee and then standardization, seems herculean. In fact, it is probably never going to happen. That contributes to negativity, but it is not hopeless.
Translating a modernized, possibly memory-safe version of C++ to standard C++ is definitely one such possibility, and it is great that someone who is as capable as Herb Sutter is working on it.
- humanrebar 4y ago> ...people are not starting new projects in C++. It is a fact... That's absolutely not true. I've seen plenty of new projects in C++ in the last month alone. A lot of the time when someone writes a binary wheel for python, it's in C++ for example. I'd ask for citation, but I can't imagine how someone would demonstrate a negative claim like this.
