I expect to see all the usual writeoffs of C++ here. And, to be sure, it's an easy language to criticize. But, for better or for worse, it's still the only reasonable choice for a lot of very interesting application domains. And a lot of its less elegant features make more sense when you think carefully about the specific design goals for the language.

I'd love to be able to write my DSP code in cleaner, simpler language but for now I'm happy that I have a tool that lets me build the software I care about.
