The "hard to read part" is not very honest. You can so similar slides for a awful lot of languages, I'm not sure I see the point. C macros, for one, introduce similar issues. The "C++ makes auditing painful" is just flat out wrong. Any decent IDE alleviates the trivial ambiguities given as an example (references...). Auditing isn't done in just reading the code when reaching a certain size, anyway, so I'm not sure where the author wants to go. Additionally, a properly written program is consistent, and that's true for any language. If the program you audit is inconsistent, I can feel your pain, but don't blame C++ for it. I also don't understand what "too powerful" means. Power is relative, that C++ is too powerful for many tasks is an obvious statement but saying that it's just "too powerful full stop" is a bit silly, isn't it?
