C++ has improved massively with the addition of auto, updated standard library, lambdas and better tools such as clion, clang tidy and Google sanitisers. The language is bloated, because it maintains backward compatibility, but it is the best it has ever been. Compared to other languages, the libraries are fairly terrible, mostly because there are so many which are horribly out of date and inconsistent with each other... But again this has slowly improved over time.
