C++ is indeed complex and one of the reasons is its syntax (believe it or not). There was even an academic project to re-syntax C++ with the exact same semantics. Of course it's not the only cause of complexity in C++ but it is definitely one of the main ones.
If that is the case, you are probably right, but still i can't quite grasp it.
C++'s complexity has nothing to do with it's "power". D is as powerful and is less complex to use which is why we are here and not on the C++ dev mailing list. for example, D's classes/structs are way better than equivalent c++ code.
Well if you think the complexity has nothing to do with power, how can you use D as a counterexample? :)
