Just like code written in Fortran 2018 might be unrecognizable to those taught Fortran IV, C++ has evolved over the decades in ways that were strongly influenced by changes in real world requirements and hardware capabilities and some of the newer additions would probably surprise someone who has not continued their involvement. But last I knew Bjarne was still active in the C++ standards process, so he would recognize what the language has become (and has authored a number of papers for the committee to reflect his views in recent memory).
