Incidentally, I've recently started a new C++ job, first C++ I've
written in some years... (after ~18 years, 12 professionally,
full-time C/C++)
After having adapted to D and distancing from C++, trying to go back
is like some form of inhuman torture!
I really don't remember it being as bad as it is... the time away has
given me new perspective on how terrible C++ is, and I can say with
confidence, there is NOTHING C++ could do to make itself a 'better
option' at this point.
Judged on common ground, there is no competition. It's only 'the devil
you know' case that I think can possibly make an argument for C++.
I know, it's easy to forget how bad C++ is to work with. The new versions
have fixed some of the pain points, but only some.
