I honestly disagree. When Bjarne writes a paper [0] saying how C++ is going the crumble under the weight of disparate and incoherent features then the language and its wider community has a problem.

To quote:

    The foundation begun in C++11 is not yet complete, and C++17 did little 
    to make our foundation more solid, regular, and complete. Instead, it added
    significant surface complexity and increased the number of features people
    need to learn. C++ could crumble under the weight of these – mostly not
    quite fully-baked – proposals.
