> Only a few years ago everyone was excited that the language had broken out of its 0x-era rut and into a regular cadence of significant modernizing improvements. The 0x era started around two decades ago, a few years after the release of C++98, and arguably ended over a decade ago with the release of C++11. This isn't something new. > Now everyone seems miserable. I don't see any misery. If anything, what I see is projects bounded to old C++ versions due to real-world constraints.
