> C++ is crying out for a bit of 'hip' It is? > What is it that really holds C++ back from being a solid choice for web frameworks? Language wise? Not much. It's more of a library and culture "problem". There's no inherent reason why C++ can't be used for web frameworks.

C++ would be an absolutely fantastic language if it were allowed to start from scratch library-wise. But that'll never happen.

  This is so true. The C++ stdlib has a few nice things (esp in C++11), but the most important part - the container classes - mostly suck (IMHO).
