I'm not surprised, but if you are going to create a language for 
current practices you have to cater to whatever the practice is. 
They are probably less eager to relearn how to use C/C++.

I also think many just don't want to attempt to deal with C++ 
std:: libs, due to bad experience with them in the past. So they 
use their own stuff instead.
