Still using c++ here... But templates get freaking annoying. If it's a
new project, I'm unlikely to pick c++. Even for low level microcontroller
apps, there's better choices. Eg python.

I remember when I first started using c++ (late 80s, early 90s, somewhere

imagine ever using it again. To hear how it's changed kind of annoys me for
nostalgic reasons but ultimately will never have an effect on my daily life.
If I was going to use C++
I would not!
I would use C# and use C for the small parts that had to be fast.
I have not touched C for 25 years, not going to change
:-)

I would need a very good reason to choose C++ to write a new project today,
a reason like needing to be close to the metal or needing very fine-grained
control over performance, memory usage, and other resources. So things like
writing a new OS, device drivers, high end computer games and other
