Is this moving the goal posts a little bit? C++ now doesn't necessarily look anything like C++ written 20 years ago. Way back, people were writing C+, or C-with-classes, but that's what C++ was, in that era.

Not at all, just because C++11, C++14 and C++17 offer lots of improvements over C++98, doesn't mean people use them.

I can assure you that at enterprise level, every time I have to integrate C++ code with our Java or .NET stacks, it looks exactly like C++ written 20 years ago, even if it was actually written last week.

Just because C++ has been vastly improved, doesn't mean everyone using it are adopting the new features, some people rather stay in Python 2 forever.
