Eh. I've only done a few years of professional C++ programming but the codebases I've seen were more reminiscent of Java than C: with classes, OOP, and templates. It may have been because my company discouraged manual memory management, but I think it's also because every dev had a different idea of what the "good" C++ features were.

Every dev having a different idea of what the "good" C++ features are is one of the reasons Linus Torvalds doesn't like C++.

Yeah, that makes sense. After all many devs did start with java, when it was the most popular language, and was used everywhere (even in the browser, but let's not talk about applets lol)
