Re: Just a question
It isn't cool. Today you need always a new language with a silly name, just it needs to be some variant of C/C++ anyway, or developers will be scared off if they don't see curly braces.
But it is true that C++ is often designed to meet more the convoluted theories of academics than to cover dire needs of developers - and that often leads to unsafe code and broad use of "tricks" to overcome design issues.
