I was reading it as a cut down C++, or maybe a cut-up C. If you think that C++ has too many features, then I can see a reduced version. Personally, I think that is why I like Java over C++. Well, for one, it is more C-like than C++. Otherwise, I believe the source for the original C++ compiler, which converted to C for a C compiler, is still around, and could be used as a start for a new C++ like language.
