Why indeed!
"I am appalled at the monstrous messes that computer scientists
can produce under the name of ‘improvements’. It is to efforts
such as C++ that I here refer. These artifacts are filled with
frills and features but lack coherence, simplicity,
understandability and implementability. If computer scientists
could see that art is at the root of the best science, such ugly
creatures could never take birth."
"Since C is low level and object orientation is an inherently
high level concept the result is conceptually incoherent."
