"there's a lot more not-modern-C++ than there is modern C++."

I'm not sure where this statement belongs. In a decision about which language is best suited for a project?

In that saying "none of this is a problem with modern C++" doesn't magically update all the libraries you'll make use of.

Ah - libraries. Never used any outside of the standard ones supplied with the compiler, and I've never felt the urge to look at the source of those.
