I don't have an issue with C++ itself, its just the meme that "C++14 will solve all of C++'s problems". It won't. C++'s problems are now locked in, and fixed. They've been known for 25-30 years, and we'll deal with them for another 50+.
Yes the tooling is great, there are amazing libraries, there is still virtual templated necromancy, there are still null pointers, and use after frees. There still will be tomorrow, and there still will be in 50 years.
