Those are true (I know this because I have done a lot of C++ compiler
work), but frankly, people writing C++ parsers / compilers / etc, are
a miniscule fraction of the people using C++ for other tasks.
So what you have, basically, is harder work for a few, to make things
easier/better/safer for many.
Again, a pretty decent tradeoff.
[and given that I'm part of "the few", as well as part of the "many"
(I use C++ for many tasks), I think I have a pretty reasonable view of
this tradeoff. Indeed, for compiler writers, the additional
complexity isn't some sort of pure annoyance -- it's also in many ways
more interesting to work on (and for those writing their compiler in
C++, of course, a benefit)... :]
