One of my recurring language design hot takes is that it's easier to design for speed and then make it easy to use than it is to make it easy to use and then try to speed it up.

C++ is trying to make C easier to use for 40 years, and it's still not there. So I wouldn't call that easier.

how would you write something like

    #include <print>
    #include <map>
    #include <string>

    int main(int argc, char** argv) 
    {
      using namespace std::literals;

      std::string foo = "foo:";
      foo += argv[0];

      std::map<std::string, int> m{
        {foo, 123}
      , {"count: "s + std::to_string(argc), 456}
      };

      std::println("{}", m);
    }

C++ if any made C user friendly.
