What I would like to see in C++ is to have very detailed control over language features and enforce coding guidelines in my own code base. Clang/LLVM are meant for this. I haven't personally written anything that parses the AST yet, but there are tools that do (clang-modernize, clang-format, YCM, etc...). What I think some people are overlooking is the practicality of C++. From a language standpoint, there are various inconsistencies, multiple ways to do things, arguably dubious design choices, etc..., but there isn't a genuine reason those can't be avoided. I personally would probably prefer writing all my code in Haskell, but C/C++ is still vastly more productive.
