I used to like C++. Over the last ~20 years it became a horrible language (imho). It now has more syntax than all other C-style languages combined. I try not to touch it (anymore) if I don't have to. ~7 years ago I got hired as a senior C# .NET developer (experience since .NET 1.1). I ended up doing nothing but C++ for the first year because people found out I could do it. I was the guy in that meme:

Did someone say Cobol?

I did some Cobol, too, back in the day.

Hadn't seen this meme before but fuck me do I know the feeling.
