were i a bit serious, i think it's becoming legit to think of c++ as a giant toolbox you can pick only a subset of and be fine. Features are supposed to work for you not the other way around.
Most of C++ criticism is simply outdated. Polygeneric hyperfunctions, compile-time compilation, self-destroying constructors, std::textstring and many other features essentially make C++63 a new language. We should call it Novel C++ to clearly distinguish it from C++5x.

Does "you" refer to a set of like-minded coworkers? Or the coding rules cabal? Does it include external library writers? How would "you" exclude "their" favorite features from "your" C++ software?

But - backwards compatibility means that a lot of the old warts of the language stick around. For example: rvalue references vs move semantics, or, the horrendous syntax for closures, auto with pointers, etc.

Const-Metapolyreference templated detection would prevent that at compile-compile-time.

it’s rather telling that some commenters think these are actual c++ features

looking forward to std::textstring_view myself

It does everything C++ does, including pathological compile times :)

I agree. Good tooling support for modules & coroutines is just around the corner.
