Same here. Been writing C++ since around 1998, was somewhat excited about C++11 (which brought a few good things, like lambdas, and ... uhm...). Since then I have the impression that C++ and I are moving into different directions. Since last year I started writing C code again and enjoy it very much, surprisingly I haven't missed C++ at all since then. That's when I realized that all I want/need is a "slightly better C" (Go is pretty close but already too high level, in the sense that there's too much under-the-hood-magic happening).
