To be fair Cap'nProto's C++ API is hardly ergonomic.

Many C++ libraries are unfortunately not ergonomic, because they are tainted by C culture.

We see this in the compiler frameworks that predated the C++ standard, and whose ideas lived on Java and .NET afterwards.

Too many C++ libraries are written for a C++ audience, when they could be just as ergonomic as in other high level languages, and being C++, there could be a two level approach, but unfortunately that isn't how it rolls.
