> "modernizing" the language to try to make it like Python/whatever.

I've been writing C++ code professionally for almost 20 years now, and Python for 10 years. I tried to think of any C++ features post C++98 that would make it "like Python", but I can't think of any. Can you give some specific examples?

We will not go down this path since everything is highly debatable but here is an article: https://preshing.com/20141202/cpp-has-become-more-pythonic/

It even states: C++ added tuples to the standard library in C++11. The proposal even mentions Python as an inspiration.
