You get 10 years of headaches for everyone who gets close to the language. Even today, the python executable in Ubuntu is called `python3`, not `python`.

To be fair though, it would be less of a problem for C++ than it was for Python, since you wouldn't have to depend on the compiler from the end-user system.
