A big part of the first section is some kind of political talk 
how they use the strategy of early 1900 century communist 
intellectuals in order to advance C++. Good indication that 
something is not quite right.

Then I skimmed through Sutters CppFront presentation and quickly 
realized that it doesn't help much at all. Rather I must learn 
another syntax in addition to learning the vast C++ language. All 
this time spent on trying "fix" C++, think what you could have 
done with a new language or an existing sane one.

I have probably mentioned, if you see modern C++, don't walk 
away, run away. Now it's more I need a really fast vehicle.

What's good is that the world has moved on and there are plenty 
of alternatives and more a popping up all the time. There is no 
excuse for using C++ anymore for new projects. Thank you for 
giving us these jump scares now and then.
