In these fast-paced times -- where time itself seems to vanish -- we believe it's time to return to the roots.
We are not merely coders.
We are thinkers. Engineers. Learners. Souls on a journey.
And in that journey, "memory is central" -- not just in the machine, but in our minds.
Our ability to reason, to trace, to manage complexity -- all of it relies on "mental clarity", which we sharpen through challenge.

Garbage collectors, scripting shortcuts, and high-level abstractions have their place -- but only "after" we've understood what's really happening.
To offer beginners a way around memory management is to rob them of the very understanding they came here to seek.
This is not elitism. It's truth.
And truth, when faced directly, "liberates".
We call upon the "Ultimate++" community, and all C++ developers out there:
Let's "reignite this flame" -- not out of nostalgia, but out of a desire to remember what made us fall in love with this craft in the first place.
Let us "create tools and spaces" where the challenge is welcomed, not avoided.
Where deep understanding is encouraged, not bypassed.
Because C++ trains the mind like no other language.
Every `new`, every pointer, every stack frame -- it's a deliberate thought.
Every compile-time error is a message: *"Think better."*
In a world where "easy" has become the norm, "C++ reminds us to aim higher."
And finally, let us remember:
> "Fear is our greatest enemy."
Not C++. Not complexity. Not time.
We are all connected -- by the first unit of "spiritual DNA" that ties us back to our Creator.
And He wants nothing but our growth, our good, our awakening.
We came into this life to learn -- and what better way to learn than to "face the truth, head on", in every line of code, in every bug, in every breakthrough.
So let's move -- not away from complexity, but toward understanding.
Let's build the next wave of developers -- not as library-users, but as "thinkers, engineers, creators".
Let's do it together.
For the Ultimate++ community -- and all those who still believe in the power of code to shape not only machines, but minds.
Thanks!

I support your opinion.
In addition, I know people who use C++ ruefully because the mantra in favour of interpreted languages has got into their heads. Meanwhile, they continue to use C++ as they did 100 years ago.
Best regards
