Bjarne, C++ is without a doubt the masterwork of language design, but we just aren't up to it. Mastering C++ in all its beauty is simply beyond 99% of the programmers out there, even among those who have mastered the pointerish issues of C and the OO issues of Smalltalk independently. Its just too hard.
For you maybe, but those of us who are not trying to write C and Smalltalk programs in C++ really like it. Powerful and flexible often means that it takes a while to get used to it. Generally it is also worth the effort.
Keep up the good work Bjarne! :-)
