I used to be this way about c++ too... But c++17/22 are not the same language as it was 10 years ago.. And it definitely isn't the language most firmware guys get to use it as.

There is some truly wild shit in the templating system.

I'm aware. I write C++17 and I try to be informed what the best praticed are for whatever version of whatever language I'm writing at the moment. But that's actually a reason to not like C++. It's painfully backwards compatible and what was good pratice isn't anymore because now there's a better one, but that better pratice isn't in anyway enforced because of backwards compatibility. And also I don't like templates, generics are superior to me, but that's a me thing.

I too used to think generics were superior until I learned parameter packs, type traits and SFINAE.
