I'm not surprised, but if you are going to create a language for current
practices you have to cater to whatever the practice is. They are probably less
eager to relearn how to use C/C++.
I also think many just don't want to attempt to deal with C++ std:: libs, due to
bad experience with them in the past. So they use their own stuff instead.
I can understand the attitude. I tend to do the same thing. Including invent
another programming language :-)
