Wouldn't it be much easier to use a high level language like Scheme which has these nice features built in already, and let C/C++ just do the lower level stuff they were created for?

In my (admittedly small) experience, avoiding the context switch between languages is generally a good thing. That said, there isn't a silver bullet but this puts C++ one step closer to being the ultimate bridge language and that's definitely a good thing.
