Be the change you want to see!

Every language has the raw materials available to turn the codebase into an inscrutable complex mess, C++ more than others. But it’s still possible to make it make sense with a principled approach.

Those of us that grew up with the language, always used it instead of C when given the option, thus even if no one can claim expertise, we know it well enough to find it relatively simple to work with.

In the some vein that Python looks simple on the surface, but in reality it is a quite deep language, when people move beyond using it as DSL for C/Fortran libraries, or introduction to programming scenarios.
