Interesting to see the love/hate. We are just starting a new blank slate code base and decided to go straight to C++17. We need expressivity early on, high performance later. And a model where someone can really get high performance on the core and still let people prototype / experiment down the road. It's pretty well supported by gcc & clang which are the compilers we care about.
I haven't really done much C++ programming in 20 years so approached it as a brand new language (to me) that I'd never used before. It's a big but powerful standard. I can't say I adore the syntax, but it's subject to path-dependent constraints that you just have to put up with.
I'm still looking for good references to style and practice that are appropriate to the latest C++. Books targeted at C++11 are pretty useful but it's too early to have more than the standard to help with 1y features.
