So following this same reasoning Python should become C?

I like how you think. I'm down for it. I have never liked dynamically typed languages.

Makes some sense, since its developers probably thought C++ was a pretty good idea, it just needed some more features. Same mindset that killed Rust for me.

I gave up on C++ for good reasons, after spending roughly 20 years trying to make sense of it.

Why not just code in a small, sane subset of C++ that you understand perfectly? That's what I do with TypeScript and it works fine.
