This is a complete straw man argument against C++ based on exceptions vs return codes. C++ can handle C return codes, and the compiler comment needs some data to back it up. I would give this more than a grain of salt if the author had an 'alternatives considered' section or some other legitimate arguments like "I'm OCD and I just can't handle the fact that if I want to alphabetize the methods in the declaration for a base class it's a breaking change in terms of binary compatibility for a shared library."
