Great post, as someone who has been eyeing C++ from the sideline I've indeed seen a lot of improvement with C++14 and especially 17, enough to make me want to start using it more.

I'm still waiting for modules to drop before I really dive into C++ though. The whole headers & include system is just a little too archaic and messy for my taste (coming from JS modules and Rust's module system).

Modules are getting a little better. vcpkg from Microsoft does a decent job, and a lot of projects that are built with CMake can be included directly from their Github repos like GoLang.
