I've been programming professionally in C++ for 15 years and can say I wholeheartedly disagree. I'm looking forward to whenever our engineering team adopts a newer compiler version in our legacy codebase (sadly we're stuck at C++17 for now).

Whenever I move from the old-style C++98 code units to newer modern C++ ones I breath a sigh of relief. It's beautiful, safe and modern; it reads like poetry.

If I get a code review where someone manually calls new/delete I will fail that code review.

That said, I agree this proposed "new syntax" is ugly and unreadable and unnecessary.
