I find it hard to see a language as beautiful that’s grown too complex for a single person to hold a complete mental model of.

I used to think that was a personal limitation, until I saw an interview with Bjarne explaining that he used to understand all of it but at this point it’s too big, no one can anymore.

C++ is certainly a leader among the least feasible, but it's far from alone.

Very few languages are like that, not even something like Scheme, Go or C, unless that person never used anything beyond version 1.0, and a single implementation.
