I wish someone would publish this "tasteful subset of C++," kind of like Douglas Crockford's Javascript: The Good Parts. Then I could just learn that and skip all the crazy template shit.
This is fantastic. My main gripe with C++ in non-system code is that there are too many features which complicate the code base and should never be used. This seems like great guidelines and a good subset.
