you may have replied to the wrong thread.

But I'd like to point out that while Google has some of the top C++ experts working for them, is heavily involved in C++ standardization and compiler writing process, in 2016 they claimed to have 2 billion lines of C++ running their infrastructure...

.. and yet they don't suffer from familiarity bias or the sunken cost fallacy I hear in your comment.

Instead Google C++ developers are sounding an alarm over the future direction the language and its crippling complexity:

Google is also known for having brain dead guidelines for C++, that speak against community best practices.

Just like with Go, their monorepo and internal tooling deturps the understanding how everyone else actually uses C++.
