Thanks for the link, a good read.
As somebody who kicks C++'s tires once in a while and is always put off by the incredible complexity of the language, and the complexity and friction and fragility of its workflow, I was sad not to see any explicit mention of pairing an ABI break with removal of the bad parts. (Yeah, I know, that might mean source-level backwards incompatibility...) Makes me wonder if it's ever even discussed at a high level.
