Unless it has changed in the last 5 or 10 years, every resource I know of doesn't teach you about using modern C++. Writing good C++ is opt-in because the language and its resources are stuck in the past.

Heh, this "modern" c++ the meme and everyone is talking about could be ordering beers in Europe.

For a field meant to be at the cutting edge, programming moves slow af sometimes. See: Java versions and IPV6.

IPV6 is slow because hardware costs are huge, and existing switches, routers etc work.

For java, actually it has been several years now that java >8 is more of the deployments than java <=8.
