Fewer younger programmers inspire me these days.

Younger programmers are just as capable, and clueless, as I was when at that age. The expectations of the older and older C++ community unfairly expects more than we should be. And in many ways it was easier to "grow up" with the advent of computers and programming.

Age is not the relevant factor here. Forcing people to write C++98 code in 2024 probably violates the Geneva convention.

Noone's forcing anyone. Writing C++23 or whatever is pretty orthogonal to using any of the libraries that were mentioned in this thread. If anything, declaring core libraries deprecated would force downstream users to seek for alternatives and update their code.
