> This trait of C++ is not a good thing, but the amount of successful software written in it seems to prove that it's not fatal either. That depends. It could also be argued that our current tools are limiting what we can accomplish and at some point we'll need a revolution, otherwise we'll hit a ceiling, just like when concrete replaced the need to carve and place rocks on top of each other. For example living organisms are way more adaptable, more self-healing than anything we've ever built. Our own body should be a text-book example of massive parallelism involving trillions of independent agents that cooperate with each other. In particular, the process of wound healing that happens when you cut yourself is quite fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing If we wanted to simulate the human body, or at least the human brain, since that's the most interesting part, somehow I'm not seeing C++ in that picture.
