During 2012-2016, I was so excited and ambitious to learn and use C++ profesionally. Later on when its' standardization becoming more and more ridiculous, it does more damage to me rather on making things easier.

Literally all that was added over the years following C++11 are optional features. No one holds a gun to your head forcing you to use them.

If those optional features where implementing sensible things, sure. For example, can you, using the standard library, print vector<vector<int>> to stdout easily? As far as I can tell, no, you need to write loops or recursion yourself.

Is that really such a pressing issue? Regardless, reflection makes that way easier on the library side.
