JS and C++ basically mirror each other in being old languages hindered by backwards compatibility.

C++ is the exact same way with a regular release schedule. You using old C++, C++ 11, C++14, C++ 17, you ready for 20? But if you know what you are doing that modern subset of the language is super nice....like JS.
