You need to grow a thicker skin on Reddit I think.
Or read the many Reddit comments about how C++ syntax and gotchas
suck and make everyone want to avoid the language. "There are
only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and
the ones nobody uses" is not a joke. This is no way to design a
language.
And for all the supposed concern about breaking code, the most
recent compiler was released with a bunch of regressions. Those
are the code breakages that show up on Reddit, not minor changes
that went through a proper deprecation cycle.
