There is no hostility.

Expressions like C++ is a horrible language or the crap that is C++ or (more recent) It really is a crap language certainly sound like hostility.

Sentiments from WG21 (the C++ committee) members don't seem far removed from what you're describing here as "hostility". Their conclusions are different but the reported facts seem similar.

The remaining C++ proponents continue to believe in a sort of Phlogiston Theory for programming languages. If they can just add the right things to C++ then it will not be an over-complicated language any more. It's true that in C++ 11, C++ 14, C++ 17, C++ 20 and C++ 23 the additions did make the language even more complicated each time, but surely this time it will work.
