Does this exist anywhere outside of C++? (lemmy.ml)

I think the memory stuff is pretty good nowadays. I'm sure I saw modern C++ can have a garbage collector. And the syntax is only runelike until you learn it, like any language really. As an industry C# developer I've recently taken up C++ as a hobby to better learn the workings of low level code and I've been enjoying it so far.

c# has lovely syntax and languages like it and python are pretty readable with basic coding knowledge. C++ if you don't know a symbol there's too many options and the risk of misunderstanding is too high.

I will agree with your claim "if you learn the syntax then you know the syntax" but I don't find this valuable.
