I've been using C++ for many years, and, sure, it has a ton of various features, not all of which I use all of the time. But, being comfortable with it, I don't find it any harder to program in than Java or Python. I am not sure if it's fair to say that the learning curve is higher to get to that point. But then again, if you do silly things in Java, won't your code be slow as well?
