What I meant was that what was things along the line of: 
best-practice in the past for meta-programming is no longer the 
best way to go about it today, yet C++ remains backwards 
compatible so... as a result you end up having N ways of 
expressing the same thing. Which makes C++ harder to read than it 
should be.

It is not so much about being able to express something as it is 
about having N different convoluted ways to express the same 
thing.

At this point C++ is a very poor choice for education at any 
level.
