(the inclusion of Ada and the dismissal of go as "not having objects" makes me question the author's wisdom)

C++ is likely to be the language of the future, as it is getting to the point where you can pick a subset of the language and emulate your favorite other programming language and paradigms.

This is not a good thing.

Exactly! This has been my concern too. Everybody has their pet subset of the language. With the amount of native features growing with every standard, large C++ codebases look more polyglot than ever.

Indeed. There are probably a dozen people in the planet that understand C++ completely. They all maintain compilers.
