I have seen decades of would-be "C++ killers" come and go. I think that in the end, it is C++ that kills C++.

I think you're right.

I am, admittedly, a card carrying member of the C++ curmudgeon club. But I would gladly gravitate to a sexy new C++ subset for my projects, if one gains some momentum.

I do a lot with goLang, right now, instead.

But I would adore joining with a community effort to choose reasonable safe default C++ libraries for a bunch of use cases, if one gained the traction to cover my own use cases.
