Of course I haven&amp;#x27;t written a line of C++ in anger since about 2003, so there&amp;#x27;s been ~15 years of changes that I haven&amp;#x27;t kept up with. Part of me wants to dive in and really re-learn modern C++, but finding time is always the challenge.&lt;p&gt;Just for context, I was such a C++ bigot at one time that my car&amp;#x27;s license plate read C++HACKR and my personal website was on the cpphacker.org domain. But somehow I drifted into doing more Java and wound up mostly leaving the C++ world.&lt;p&gt;Edit: heck, this conversation triggered such a pang of nostalgia that I just re-registered cpphacker.org.  Maybe I&amp;#x27;ll go back to having a personal website there. I&amp;#x27;ve been thinking hard about setting up a new personal site and ditching Facebook anyway...</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been actively using it for more than a decade, including a good portion of the darker things, and still won&amp;#x27;t claim &amp;#x27;I learned it&amp;#x27;. I did &amp;#x27;learn how to use it for the particular purpose of some projects&amp;#x27; is what I&amp;#x27;d say. Or in other words: I&amp;#x27;m fairly good at C++ but from time to time there&amp;#x27;s still Q&amp;amp;A on reddit or stackoverflow that makes me go like &amp;#x27;whaaaaaat?&amp;#x27;</text></comment>
