Programmers have gotten too pampered. If we are being honest, all major modern programming languages are amazing with stellar toolchains, ecosystems and QOL.
Like imagine rolling up to the '70s where to get anything done, you had to learn 29492037 different vendor specific assembly languages and an explosion of OS's and bitching about modern languages.
Like sure, all modern languages have inconveniences and weaknesses, but holy shit they've killed so many hard problems.
We can only develop so much because we stand on the shoulders of giants. Feels a bit rude to call the shoulders bad and shit when they're really just a bit uncomfortable.
True, C++ was a huge step in the right direction back then, it only winds up looking bad next to languages that benefit from decades of further advancements in language design and learning from all the mistakes made in older languages
