I disagree. Indeed, one of my todo projects is rewriting Python in highly
conservative C++ (no templates, no exception, multiple inheritance only
when all but one of the classes are ABCs, etc.) to show that conservative
C++ can kick C's ass. OTOH, when a project is done in C++, you can be
sure there will be no corner of the reference manual of C++ will be left
unexpoited.

I take it you think g++ supports templates properly? Think again.
(I've worked with g++ and templates. I wouldn't wish it on my enemies)

Are you kidding? I read that book cover to cover. Wonderful book!
