Ha. People have been making exactly this complaint for as long as C++ has been around. Meanwhile the language just keeps rolling on, picking up new features like some demented Katamari Damacy character.

It’s a puzzle. One can only conclude that secretly C++ programmers like all the new feature whilst complaining bitterly about them in public.

Us c++ programmers have yet to find a paradigm we didn't like.

I think it's because C++ serves a wide set of users across a wide set of paradigms. I doubt every C++ dev is enthusiastically using every feature.
