One could make good technical arguments for Guile, Java, OCaml, Python, Ruby, Squeak, and others (note that I've been careful to list them alphabetically :-). But C++ wouldn't make the long list, much less the short one. I'd rather not go into language-war mode at this point, though. Unless someone has a _lot_ of high-quality time to sink into this, I wouldn't advocate a switch.
