Patching over the old work--hopefully without breaking anything--always is. I'm just stating that much of the hostility toward C++ comes from the fact that we have so many superior options to choose from now--options which profited from the lessons C++ learned the hard way, and incorporated them into v1 instead of patching them in as options at v23.
And this is not to strikeforce anyone with a "Rewrite it in Rust!", but to suggest that C++ is maybe not the best choice for new work in 2022.
