When it comes comprehensibility, the C++ standard is orderS of magnitude more difficult than the JLS due to the numerous interdependencies and layers upon layer

When it comes comprehensibility, the C++ standard is orderS of magnitude more difficult than the JLS due to the numerous interdependencies and layers upon layers of cruft. There is no single, cohesive model to understand. That is the fatal flaw of C++ and I guess what led to Stroustrup's couple-of-decades-too-late "Remember the Vasa!" proclamation.
