I remember somewhere in one of my undergrad courses textbook that had a quote to something of the effect that C++ was a federation of languages. And honestly, it still feels like that all these years later. It's both a blessing and a curse depending on what you need to do. Most folks probably never venture fair outside their specific subset of C++ to use anything else and probably an unlucky few have to have an esoteric level of understanding the language to do their work. I don't envy the latter.
