I found it very interesting that Bjarne Stroustrup basically 
admitted in his presentation of GSL that the progress of Rust has 
forced C++ to change faster. And there is no doubt that Apple is 
putting its money behind Swift, planning for a major upgrade 
(Swift 3)...

As far as I can tell there is a horse race between C++, Rust and 
perhaps also Swift that will affect what programmers expect from 
system level programming languages in the coming years.

So "It's fine as is" isn't really an option.
