Yes. We know. That's why we have plethora of other languages to choose from, ones that learned from the shortcomings of C++ and [at least in attempt] implemented programming concepts properly. Insofar as C++ is still around, well, sometimes better to incrementally improve what we have without having to rewrite entire systems from scratch. Those working earnestly in C++ soon learn how to normalize certain techniques to work around problems and just not worry about them. English sucks too (having followed better languages down dark alleys and robbed them of their loose grammar). Yet here we are, using it as the standard language on HN.
