    Cause, sure, you can poke around with pointers and references in C++ but it can also be used just like any other OOP language

    Fair. It is harder to break things in C++ than C. Although I’ve definitely created a few memory leaks.

    I’ll admit I haven’t actively fucked with C++ in over a decade, but in my experience you’re not going to find the kind of native integration with - say - Azure or SQL that’s baked into more modern languages. You can work around this with libraries. But eventually you’re just emulating a higher level language.
