Enough time has passed to firmly conclude that Stroustrup was wrong on that point. Other languages have withstood the test of time better than C++<11 and C++>=11 has dramatically improved the language by copying features from those other languages. C++'s issues were poor design choices, not simply some "maturity" force that causes a language to accumulate incoherent features.
