Is C++ being less complex than it's previous years?

Question

This question is on my mind,

I hear many programmers saying C++ is too tough and complex. So, every 3 years, C++'s version is updated. Do they make the code less complex than previous versions or do they just add new features only?

Answer 1

With the revision of standards, there are a lot of features which are added to C++ and some which are removed.
check this to see what all were changed(till now) in the latest revision of standards (C++20)

As of C++ being complex is considered then the case is similar to that with any other language, things always get a bit more complicated the deeper you go in the language

it's just that with languages like python, you get predefined functions or libraries to do almost everything, making the job seemingly easier and less complicated.
