Last time I programmed C++ it was C++98. What's changed since?

Everything.

I wonder if it's physically possible to be even less specific?

Okay, how about this:

some of the things

My favorite part of C++ is that you can use it to program in many different styles depending on your personal tastes and the requirements of your project. It's a bit of a mixed blessing, because the language is very complicated and you can shoot yourself in the foot, but if you're careful to avoid some common pitfalls, it becomes extremely powerful.

In the past decade, it has gotten even more flexible and more powerful, though consequently more complicated.

I find that the boost library is an excellent example of a "modern" C++ programming style and makes use of many of the languages features. Check out the guide here for reference: https://theboostcpplibraries.com/

He is pretty much right. At the very least it's becoming a much better language

it shouldn't be in the language; but it should be used

Modern C++ is pretty good for multi-threaded stuff:

The use of RAII scoped locks is great to manage shared resources concurrently.

Let's put it this way.
These days, if you learn C first in order to learn C++ you are making a grave mistake.

Shit

Everything i look up about using, implementing and understanding RAII comes off as extremely vague. What's some good reading about the subject?
