I love C++. I've coded in C++ for like 30 years at this point. C++11 breathed new life into the language, to the point where it's a different and much better language now.
But some of these new features… I feel like they're a bit desperate attempts at fitting in with the kids.
Not to start a language war, but I don't see how any attempt at stapling modern features onto C++ make it a good choice in 2025. There are at least two viable plug in replacements, that have good interop.
Like I said, I've coded C++ for 30 years (along with other languages, sure), so I'm not a fad follower. I don't say it lightly, but I do say that coding C++ in 2025 means creating technical debt. And these features won't change that.
