> Scott Meyers has written lots of good stuff on how to use C++ properly.

Scott Meyers "retired" from C++ in December 2015 (http://scottmeyers.blogspot.fr/2015/12/good-to-go.html / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Meyers). There may be a link to C++ itself don't you think?

PS: I still write most of my projects in modern C++, but slowly switching to D and other alternatives.

That post is less "I'm getting away from C++ because it's a poor language" and more "I'm retiring from my role as C++ advocate because there are plenty of quality resources available".
