[deterministic]

I trust the C++ committee to introduce new features in the most convoluted way possible, then spend the next 20 years trying to fix it, while adding even more syntax that makes my eyes hurt.

Case in point: templates. They are essentially a pure functional programming language embedded inside C++, expressed in a verbose syntax that barely resembles the rest of the language, and somehow makes even Java look concise.

It has been a slow-motion train wreck, with one questionable design decision after another. And a perfect example of why design by committee often leads to unnecessary complexity.
