> C++ is patchwork language. So many of the new features don't work well together or don't fit together or they have conflicting goals.

I don't really see this as true. In my experience most C++ features actually "just work" together and there are relatively few footguns involved in mixing features.

And it's less that C++ is a patchwork language and more that it is multi-paradigm and multi-discipline. Some features have specific applications and they get used inappropriately but in my experience that is solved with a quick reference/citation of the standard during code review or in a new ticket.
