It's easier to say goodbye C++!

C is 10 years younger than COBOL, C++ is 20 years younger than COBOL, COBOL is still around.

A full rewrite seems extremely expensive and long. I’m afraid C++ isn’t going anywhere in our lifetime.

C++ can stay, but people can make a decision not to use it for anything and not to take any jobs involving C++ (or other systems/bare-metal-ish languages).

I've written a fair amount of C++ in my day, and this seems totally unacceptable to me.

Also my opinion seems unpopular on this topic, so I suspect some group of people that really want to get behind C++ don't like that kind of talk.

Whatever though. Rust and other newer languages are kind of giving the spaces C++ works well in a run for its money and in other ways just completely blowing it out of the water in my opinion.

It might be time to look at D again too.

It's more easy to just don't adopt the new standard.
