A lot of people who criticize c++ seem to still think it's 2008 and there aren't the crazy amount of compiler checks/linters/standard practices that have happened since c++11 was released.

I like rust and I dick around with it a bit on some small REST projects I have for home automation but for day-to-day work I stick with c++ until rust support picks up in the industry a lot more than it currently is.

Because many of us only know C++ best practices from conference slides, and our own side projects, while we cry in despair when looking at typical corporate code bases.

Why do you think Bjarne Stroustoup main subject on conferences is how to write C++ properly without C style coding, for several years now?
