c++ gets a lot of hate much of it based on past traumas with specific codebases and history of use.

This has built up into a culture where people who have little to no experience with c++ but who have been told and seen only bad headlines about it join in with those who have legitimate concerns, those who are promoting their favorite language and those who are trolls leading to a general mood.

It is almost perfectly predictable that if you open the discussion on a link to a c++ article on this site there will be someone promoting either zip, rust or circle in that discussion. There will also be a comment on the bloat of the language and someone venting their trauma from some horrible code base.
