The problem of C++ is that it's a bad personal investment since you will need to re-learn the language all the time. Almost every other language respects your time more. Not getting back... ever.
Not just the language, entire toolchain and community are like this. Yesterday I upgraded my Go compiler, everything worked straight away, got free performance improvement on my code. I still shudder when I remember upgrading to a new version of GCC, Clang, MSVC. Took weeks to setup everything and fix newly created bugs. Not getting back... ever.
