Agree. C++ is here to stay though. Too much code written in that language. It's certainly a great skill to have, and there are super lucrative jobs too. For me, I feel the language just go in the way and is way too complex. Sure, I know the discourse: "modern C++" is great, you don't need to learn about older. versions of C++, things are getting simpler with each new version. The problem is that the codebase you get to work on aren't modern C++. They use every possible feature ever released and it's just hard and full of pitfalls. I suppose people who have only work on C++ in their projects for years can develop some level of expertise and are immune to the complexity. But really, not a great language...
