Such a distinction between good and bad parts is much more difficult to define for C++ than Javascript. Javascript hasn't had the problem of programmers using separate subsets of the language. The bad parts of Javascript are design/implementation mistakes. The bad part of C++ is the overabundance of language features/complexity. However, I think it would be great for someone to design a sensible subset of the language. Provide a lint tool (like Crockford's JSLint) which can enforce the subset. Marketing will be the hard part - a buzzword/name will be extremely useful for branding/word-of-mouth to work. A name will make it sellable, and identifiable, as a language of its own.
