C++ is not back

http://simpleprogrammer.com/2012/12/01/why-c-is-not-back/

Some interesting points about C++. I think next version of C++ should remove 80% of the language.

And no, C is not an option. Lack of RAII and other "advanced" functionalities will result in terrible bugs.

And no, D is not proper replacement. GC is shit.

The API is C for MAXIMUM compatibility, it doesn't say anything about the implementation language. Templates, exception, RTTI either didn't exist yet or had only bad/expensive implementations (remember that this is late 80s/early 90s language and compilers).

Most kernels reinvent object orientation anyway (Linux VFS layer just to give a lel randum example), so why not save some work and use a language that supports the features from the start?
