I share your frustration with C++. I have PTSD from working on C++ codebases for 8 years before moving onto languages that weren't as nerve wracking. However, your comment is a bit too harsh and does disservice to the efforts of smart, well meaning people who make up the C++ committee. Also your remarks are very ageist. You can criticize the outcome of a project without disparaging the people working on it.

> does disservice to the efforts of smart, well meaning people who make up the C++ committee it is small group of people who managed to successfully ignore the entire audience for decades. I'd like to just ignore them when they intentionally ignored all their users. we are talking about a language that took decades to get its networking support into its stdlib. I am not sure who many decades you have, I don't have many. > You can criticize the outcome of a project without disparaging the people working on it. the current issues of C++ are entirely caused by the people who controlled or let's say hijacked that once pretty cool language. I don't know how to address the issue without attacking those hijackers. but I totally get what you mean. here is my proposal - people should all stop using this legacy language, let's write it off, depreciate C++ in 2023 sounds a very good move to me.
