I'm curious about what's fueling your hatred of C++. In my experience it depends heavily on how it's being used. Modern C++ used competently can get you really far, but I don't know how easy it is to find an environment like that these days, considering the amount of garbage code you can find written in it.

Pretty sure you just answered your own question.

To be fair, the garbage code part definitely also goes for C. The issue seems to be largely orthogonal to language preferences and capabilities.
