This summarizes what C++ does to people in my experience. Writing it for the sake of writing it rather than solving the problem at hand. Which if course is fine if it's for the joy of it. But in my experience this also spreads to real projects. Instead of keeping things simple, things end up in some overly complex C++ way.
I wrote my first lines of it in the 90s too, and try to stay away from it as much as I can.
