Not sure if you've missed this, but this is a number one reason many consider C++ absurdly complex. To actually know C++ is to know many different similar languages based on the year the code was written. C++20 is very different than C++03 as noted. Now compare this with C, or Go, Java, etc. which in comparison have barely changed.
