I respectfully disagree here. Standardisation aids adoption, learning and
portability.

My view is that c++ would be more popular if the standard was wider in
scope. The arguments I hear against using c++ in new projects include “you
need arcane knowledge to actually achieve anything”.

It is for this reason that I regard boost beast as the most pivotal library
to bless the c++ community since the boost project was started.

And I see nothing wrong with macros.

Except that they pollute the global namespace and contribute to unintuitive
bugs?

We can hope and work in that direction.
