I strongly disagree. C++'s particularly clumsy static typing introduces a LOT of conceptual baggage. Smalltalk, Scheme, or Self would probably be better, depending on whether you consider prototype-based OO to be a novelty or just the bare essentials.

For simple examples, such as those from this article, I don't think you see C++'s type system at all -- except maybe the fact that it doesn't do duck typing (which you also see with Scala).
