Re: Is C++ becoming too large and complex?
So you would rather C++ be unchanging, forever, born in a state of perfection meaning no changes are necessary to the language in the decades ahead to meet programmers' needs?
All you need to do is look at the relative numbers of users of Eiffel, Smalltalk, Simula 67, or whatever other perfect language you care to mention to see how well that would work out. C++ would turn into one of those languages or another version of Objective C - nobody uses them unless they're forced to.
