    I think you highlighted the main issue: it's not sexism, it's simply misplaced. Would it be 4 women and 4 men, it would still be out of context and not right. I don't know if it's …

    You can take a look at Rust. The authors are really careful to design an elegant C++ replacement, with no troll features and zero-cost abstractions.
