Only if by power you mean performance. Otherwise C++ is not a very ”powerful” language.

I’d like to see an example of a task that can be done with less verbosity in C++ than say, Python, using only the standard library

    ++foo; // Increment value of foo by one

    foo += 1 # Increment value of foo by one

Something more complicated maybe ? Like say parse arguments from a command line ?
