The very first Hello World program anyone learning C++ will write uses the godawful iostream bitshifting operators! Not even the language's authors could help themselves eating 20 fried shrimp on the first day the buffet was open!

If we were set on banning all of the features C++ abused from new languages, we would probably end up writing just empty brackets.

This!

The iostream bitshift overload was one of the first features of C++ that I learned to despise. I'm very happy that there's an alternative in the new version.
