I don't think c++ overdid it persay, I just think that they really got some of the ergonomics wrong. SFINAE and the CRTP are examples of idioms that are possible due to the flexibility, but unintelligible to read (I'm sure there's some population that really disagrees with me. I'm not saying they're not useful, just not ergonomic) They're slowly layering in those ergonomics, which will eventually be nice, though there'll always be a big pile of legacy.
