I guess C++ is the new COBOL.
When fresh out of college, I used to pride myself knowing C++. I used to revel in its complexity because it made me feel a cut above the rest. How naive & stupid I was.
I have not worked in C++ for a long time, I cannot climb the mountain of complexity again.

- WorldMaker 4y agoPython seems to be showing that FORTRAN still has a great present. It's amazing what is current in the Python ecosystem and written in FORTRAN. Python still has a lot of C extensions and C code but Python has never strictly cared about C++. From a Python perspective, at least, C++ is more like COBOL than FORTRAN.
