That's not surprising as modern C++ predates C++11. Newer standards "merely" make it more convenient to practice it.
At the end of the day, modern c++ is really about emphasizing value types, RAII and parametric polymorphism as opposed to OOP.
Anyway, these days we have it good conformance to new standards comes relatively quickly. It took forever for most compilers to be C+98 conformant (and technically most never reached it).
