Finally somebody on HN getting attention for mentioning this sad truth. Usually even the least criticism on this 'holy' language [that emphasizes 'intent' and glorifies people who truly understand 'const correctness!' and the correct usage of dynamic_cast] gets immediately downvoted. The sad truth being, tons of impossible to understand code bases exist in the wild, due to, for example, the mix of old, less old and new memory handling strategies having been applied.
