C++ looks very handsome. Usually someone will pop up showing crazy meta programming template code and use it a straw man to declare cpp=bad.

  I've bee using C++ since the late 90s, and namespaces are still annoying.

    How so?

    Just use `using namespace std;` inside your function and C++ suddenly becomes nice.

      Using boost or std in a function is much better than doing it in the header for obvious reasons, but still annoying.

  Which is why elegance argument would've favored staying with Lisp - not only it looks elegant, but also you can do all the "crazy metaprogramming" without the crazy, but rather in straightforward and elegant code. And I say that as someone doing C++ for a living, and occasionally engaging in said crazy template metaprogramming stuff. Occasionally, because people tend to frown at it during code review; apparently, metaprogramming is reserved only to library authors...
