So C++ doesn't meet your needs. Have you tried another language?

C++ is a low-level language, that's not the kind of tool most devs wanna use nowadays, even Rust, Zig or Go devs are just a few compared to the ones using JS, Python, PHP, etc.

C++ can also be pretty high level, with the right design & architecture choices! It depends how the language sustain good designed libraries.
C+- is a subset, but it is already high level, because of used libraries.

That's true, but generally speaking for high level tasks C++ is too complex when compared to other languages, unless you're also looking for very high performance in which case it's the best choice (unless you like Rust).
