Modern C++ is something nebulous. What is Modern C++ now would be obsolete few years down the line. So clearly maintenance of such a project wouldn’t be much fun, I suppose.

C doesn’t suffer from this for one. You have more time to focus on the task than on managing the myriad ways of doing the same thing.

Modern C++ is whatever is standardized and implemented. Obviously, as new Standards are published, new features become available, and any workarounds for their lack become redundant. But that has not inconvenienced SerenityOS even a little bit.

It can be reduced to actually writing proper C++ instead of C with a C++ compiler, already that basic change is quite modern for many folks.
