"I've been using it professionally for 15 years now, and if I 
observe anything, it's that the longer I use it, the more my 
stuff looks like C. I keep shaking my head at younger colleagues 
mis-using templates all over the place ("re-usability!", and 
hour-long compile times, coupled with really non-obvious implicit 
conversions and instantiations, never mind the error messages), 
and object-oriented hierarchies where each object is such a tiny 
part of the system that you need to remember 10 classes at the 
same time just to have a slight inkling of what this thing is 
actually supposed to do."
