This is obviously false in full generality, C++ has many (M A N Y) ways to do anything, and I have never seen even the most fanatic C++ fans defend this as a good thing. Nearly every single C++ dev hates some (large) subset of the language, which subset is another matter entirely, but a subset nonetheless.

Bjarne Stroustrup once noted in Design & Evolution of C++ that people want different things from the seemingly simple artifacts we call "Programming Languages". Some people want an algorithmic language to express procedures cleanly in, others want a design language to express large scale systems in. Some want a terse and uniform "executable mathematics" notation, others want a down-to-earth worse-is-better lets-make-some-goddamn-apps-and-put-some-fucking-bread-on-the-table working class language. Some want a language with an emphasis on the lone author, others an emphasis on the corporate business team. A language as a tool that you wield skillfully for the single purpose it was built for, a language as a toolbox full of gadgets, a language as a material to build the previous two from, a language as a community hub to organize around, etc etc etc. I have seen people argue that "Language" the wrong metaphor to understand computer notations entirely.

This is why you can't say anything general about programming languages.
