The chosen language is just one "suckless metric". I hold little love for C++, but I'll choose a well-designed and well-written C++ program over a badly designed and badly written C program any day of the week. A good example to illustrate this point might be procmail: https://github.com/Distrotech/procmail/blob/master/src/formail.c The comment says "seems to be relatively bug free", but I think it's fair to say that figuring out what that stuff even does is a lot harder than figuring out the average C++ program, and smaller/well written C++ programs in particular.
