  Complexity and reliability and productivity are opposition forces in most systems.

  C++ only exacerbates the issue with regard to software development. Alternatives like Go were developed to try and address this. But C++ continues to persist in a lot of cases even when better alternatives are available.

  Complaining about C++ seems to be a personality trait for some developers. It's there, whether you like it or not, use it or not. Move on.
