Ask HN: Is C++ making a comeback? “modern C++” versus Golang/Rust/Zig/Nim/D?

I'm hearing the term "modern C++" bandied about. I'm guessing it means "C++ has evolved to something worth considering versus more modern languages". What do you think? Given a real world project, what might lead you to use modern C++ instead of Golang, Zig, Rust etc? Or is C++ too old and dusty despite its updates? Some references: "Welcome back to C++ - Modern C++" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/welcome-back-to-cpp-modern-cpp?view=msvc… "21 New Features of Modern C++ to Use in Your Project" http://www.vishalchovatiya.com/21-new-features-of-modern-cpp-to-use-in-your-project/ "What is modern C++"? https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp_questions/comments/tgs6ir/what_is_modern_c/ "C++ is the next C++" https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2657r0.html "modern c++ features" https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern
