I do not think C++ "lags severely in the field of virtual methods". I use both OOP and template based polymorphism depending on particular needs and see no significant problems in either.

C++ can't do things today that Smalltalk and CLOS were able to do in the 1980s already; how is it not lagging behind in OOP? Hell, companies like Trolltech had to extend C++ for their own purposes to provide just a subset of the extra features (relative to standard C++) that had already been available in environments like Smalltalk or CLOS.
