Have you read it? I felt like it goes both directions. As someone more in the Swift camp, I was learning about C++ too.

Not exactly what you asked for, but in my humble opinion Stroustrup’s Tour of C++ is one of the best books for getting up to speed quickly with C++ if you know other languages…

I own both versions of this book, the first one is almost one third the size of the latest. :)

That is sadly the thing with backwards compatibility, it is only additive.

Nowadays on Java and .NET worlds, we live through our own versions of Python 2, thanks to Java 8 => 9 transition, and .NET Framework => .NET Core.
