This is basically the C++ treadmill for decades and I think people are starting to realise they were duped.

Bjarne's C++ promised that if you use this instead of C you won't have these problems. The problems persisted of course. Then it was well you need to use standard C++ 98 not that crap pre-standard C++ you've been doing, once you adopt C++ 98 the problems will subside. Then it's you need "modern" C++ 11, of course you've got problems, that's because you used C++ 98, use this "modern" C++ instead.

By around 2020 they started to say the "modern" C++ 11 wasn't up to it, you need to write "contemporary" C++ 20 or better.

What was it George W Bush told us? "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again".
