I work on a C++ project and actually sympathise with this sentiment. It's a massive strategic risk to our org, we pay a consistent tax in reduced productivity and stupid bugs, and I will advocate migrating away as soon as we have a suitable destination (Carbon looks promising).

But, I do also really enjoy writing C++! I'm optimistic that writing Carbon/Val/whatever ends up gaining traction in the industry will be just as good though.

Are you using legacy C++ or modern C++?
Quite modern! A few of the latest features we don't use yet but overall it's pretty up-to-date. Also no exceptions.
