When I comment on HN topics that are related to C++, there's a very high chance that I get downvoted. Anyways I can't help it, I will comment here...

I feel it would be best for the C++ language that its development would stop. There's no way to fix its current problems. The fact that it stayed compatible with previous iterations over so many years is an accomplishment, almost a miracle, it should be cherished. Deviating from that direction doesn't make sense. Keeping that does not make sense either.
