I think C++ lives up to the old adage: with great power comes great responsibility. I, personally, never cared for the language. It has an incredibly extensive list of features which means you'll never find two developers writing the same solution the same way. As someone who values readability, I think that causes the language to age poorly. That said, it's still quite alive and well—especially in the embedded world as a lot of engineering teams can't afford to migrate 20-year-old control systems to new languages.
