C++ is never going to be hip, but as an HTML5 game developer I can't tell you how many times I have wished for the ability to stack allocate objects, or to use RAII.

C++ gives you plenty of ways to go harm yourself, but unlike C they are pretty easy to work around. And the nice thing is that for the most part wrong code looks wrong.
