That was long before the STL was standardised.
What's actually wrong with C++ at a language design level. Short version: http://lwn.net/Articles/504751/ Long version (parts 1, 2, 3): http://landley.net/notes-2011.html#16-03-2011 http://landley.net/notes-2011.html#19-03-2011 http://landley.net/notes-2011.html#20-03-2011 Seriously, saying C++ is a good language because it contains the whole of C is like saying a mud pie is a good beverage because it contains an entire glass of water.
