I actually like C++, it is not perfect for sure but it's getting better, plus the famous "there are only two kinds of languages: one that nobody uses, one that many complain". In the end there is really no alternative, in fact there is none. I could not find a language to replace c++ myself in practice, so I will keep using it all the way.

This is it. Izzy could abandon all C++ committee work, like the other 4 million C++ programmers, and just use the language to get work done and accomplish goals. Maybe publish a library or two in Boost that might take off, and finally be pushed into the Standard by appreciative users. Abandoning a productive language because of not getting enough of your proposals accepted looks pretty sour-grapesy, so to speak. Almost everybody who got anything into a Standard got only one thing in.
