Less is more, but my ideal 'less' probably isn't your ideal 'less'. That's why we need more... so we can all have less. C++ covers many domains and programming styles really well. Just because it doesn't cover some as well as some other language, it doesn't mean C++ as a whole is a lost cause. This is true no matter how many domain experts and language advocates attack it. It's C++s huge scope that opens it up to attacks from every corner in the first place. Frankly I'm getting tired of reading articles from people who think they can proclaim "what C++ is about" any more than I can proclaim "what Go is about" or "what Python is about". Even Bjarne himself admits he doesn't know all the ways in which people use C++, and that's how he likes it.
