I disagree entirely. I would say that C++ should be treated like COBOL: useful only to maintain legacy code that nobody has the time or money to rewrite in a better language. C++ is a mess, and C++11 has done little to make C++ less of a mess.

Ah that must be the reason why gcc migrated their codebase to C++!
