this is ridiculous. Every remotely powerful programming language gives you an opportunity to shoot yourself in the foot. c++ is so simple, and with every new standard it becomes even better and easier to use. How can anybody possibly complain is beyond me.

The subdialect of features that you have settled on may be simple, but the language itself is a nightmare of random feature archaeology and creeping throw-it-against-the-wall-and-see-if-sticks extensions, which somehow still fails to provide clean simple tools for polymorphism.
