alt Hacker NewsI love C++ for the power it gives me, but boy do I hate reading C++ code. I know most of these things are for historical reasons and/or done because of parser compatibilities etc. but it's still a pain.

Only if by power you mean performance. Otherwise C++ is not a very ”powerful” language.
I’d like to see an example of a task that can be done with less verbosity in C++ than say, Python, using only the standard library

I used to live and breath C++ early 2000s, but haven't touched it since. I can't make sense of modern C++.
