This is so true for almost everyone I’ve talked with. It’s almost like each release is its own language too. I’ve been programming in Rust recently, and didn’t realize how much I love it till I tried doing something in C++ again.

I will say I still really enjoy the simplicity of C, but the guarantees of Rust are really hard to beat.

I am kind of in a similar camp with D. I just can't go back to C++, no matter what.

Me with managed compiled languages. Still need to go back to C++ every now and then, unfortunately not all interesting libraries have bindings available.

C++11 you could say that about, but I don't think any other revision is anywhere close to needing that much work to get up to speed. Ownership semantics mean that many times there are much more elegant ways of doing almost everything. In later versions, not using the latest features is not such a big deal, you don't miss out on the same leap forward.
