There is something to be said for a slow moving target that you can kinda rely on to work well. If anything I think C++ went off the rails when they started innovating in the language space and tried to introduce all sorts of novel features that other languages hadn't prototyped. I think of all the nonsense around templates that they introduced and how generally the consensus is not to use any advanced template features.
