Reminds me of the time I wasn't passed on an interview for a product I was part of the pre-release testing team but I didn't have enough year's of experience with the tech for the job. I'm guessing it was just an excuse

Garmin user for ages. Forerunner 9 series is my jam but you might want to find what works in your price point along with the need-to-have/want-to-have feature matrix of your choosing. Garmin's UX is stuck in the Symbian era of OS

All great points. It is also a young enough language that significant kernal dev can have significant influence on the future of the language itself. CPP's future seems to be predicated upon its past adoption.
