I like C much more than C++, but even with that must say that https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is pretty nice (which is the base for std::format). Together with pystring (https://github.com/imageworks/pystring https://github.com/imageworks/pystring) it makes string processing in C++ somewhat bearable (pystring is slow though because it still uses the std::string type which excessively allocates, but at least it's convenient compared to 'raw' C++ string functionality).
