> On all the recent c++ polls the average language revision used is between c++14 and 17.

Polls of hobbyist coders, or software houses? I would be surprised if most software houses migrated to C++17 yet. Tensorflow is stuck on C++03 I think.

TF is at least C++11 from the first header I opened in the repo: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorf...

I'm referring to e.g. the Jetbrains and cppcon polls.

it does not mean that you're not using C++11. This macro is just a compatibility flag for your code to work on old linux distros that provide a C++11 compiler but did not want to rebuild their whole archive. It mainly means that std::string is implemented with copy-on-write instead of small buffer optimization.
