Hopefully those companies then go to the wall. C++14 is the

Our current target platform is almost a decade old, so if current
trends continue, C++14 will be the only C++ in 2024.
In all honesty, we're close to pushing through the use of a newer
compiler, so C++14 will become a reality fairly soon, but I think
most large companies are in the position where legacy code or
legacy systems have them working a decade or more behind current.
Most C++ programmers I meet today still aren't comfortable with
templates and the STL, if they understand/use them at all, and
that stuff has been around for 20 years.
