You don't become a good craftsman by rejecting every tool that isn't perfect. You become one by knowing your tools and their flaws and strengths well.

Yes, that's why I said "I" am done with it, not "you should be done with it." There's no need for me to use it ever. Except when forced to with mbed, TFLiteMicro, and the occasional port of an Arduino driver to C.
I've been at this since before C++ existed. I've watched it come in to the world, and I've watched it mutate, Akira-like, into an academic omphaloskepsis.
EDIT: Fun story: I learned C++ in ... 1990? ... by watching a series of videos on VHS tape taught by none other than Bjarne Stroustrup himself. I think it was a bonus that came with the purchase of the first version of the Borland C++ compiler for OS/2.
