And templates, and standard algorithms, and move semantics, and lots of other things that are pretty much necessary in modern code. Well, not necessary, but by restricting yourself from using them you are needlessly:

* creating more work for yourself, and

* introducing bugs in your code.

Don't do that. Use C++ as C++.

If I want all the advantages of that stuff I'll just use rust.
