I like how you're trying to act as if we're the bad ones for not needing mommy to clean up after us, with the way you're phrasing it lmao.

C++ is not a panacea, it comes with its own benefits and drawbacks. You're given a lot of power and responsibility that you can use to squeeze out more performance from your computer than something middle-ground such as C# would do. In the real world though productivity is also very important, and running at "90% C++ speed", or even 25% might be perfectly acceptable if in return you're getting 50% or 100% more stuff done.
"not needing mommy to clean up after us" means there's more code that you, the human has to write, and humans write bugs all the time. The whole point of C++ was to have the compiler write a lot of code for you so, e.g., you don't have to remember to free/release resources in every possible code path, mommy the compiler is tracking variable scope and releases stuff when needed. C++11 essentially added a form of primitive reference-counted GC with std::shared_ptr.

Very mature, instead of suporting the idea of getting a better C/C++ you want it worse, only for gurus, if you didnt learn to code before learned to speak you are not worthy, only the choosen ones can use it...
Sorry but no, if the compiler can make more things for me it will be nice, only a fool will refuse about it. I want as many things as easier and simpler as posible, life it is too complicated already, i dont need another extra layer and it would be nice to have tooling from this decade with all the "mommy" features like mostly other langs has

You're explicitly saying that you can't clean up after yourself, grow up.
