I heavily disagree. C++ has a lot of problems but it's flexibility is not one of them.

Imo the biggest problem with C++ is that there are a dozens ways of doing the same thing. The std lib is not general and fast enough for everyone. Therefore it's not even "standard" .

I have seen many conferences of a proposed "cpp2" like syntax that breaks abi but imo it's the best way forward.
