C++ is a language you should give serious consideration to learning in 2019 (or whenever you happen to come across this article). Rapid language modernization, better tooling, a growing and inclusive community, and a thriving job market are just some of the reasons C++ should be your next language to learn.
Wow, this guy drank too much Kool-Aid ™️️, I'm out.
Yeah, I get it. At least in the communities I've been a part of over the years, C++ has a consistently bad reputation.
...
Modern C++ (versions ≥ 11) is an entirely different beast and should be considered separately.

Plus, importing crusty old code into your projects is fun, well, at least more fun than dissecting them and re-coding in a new language which lacks the libraries they leaned on.

I would argue that in the last decade modern has moved on from C++ and other general, "do it yourself", languages to Unity, VB, etc. Languages designed for a specific task that automate programming away from the programmer.
These languages themselves are written in C++, C++ is still the most useful language, but it does not meet the definion of modern imho.

Isn't that post-modern?
