The biggest issue with C++ for me is the confusing memory model. You have smart_pointers, you have move semantics, and then you have libraries like OpenCV doing their own refcounting (and also using std::shared_ptr). The C++11 features like lambdas are definitely welcome but at this point C++ epistemic footprint is just too large.
