I’m not saying that C++ needs PhDs to write, but it is one of the most complex languages out there. Even just basic usage is considerably hard (RAII, r/l-values, etc). Of course it is in part inherent in the system programming domain.

But Java is a trivial language comparatively, your mentioned complexity is user-generated.

It's interesting that you find RAII hard. I've not heard this opinion before.

Well, correctly writing all the copy/move constructors is hard.
