IIRC, the standard team said something that for C++17 will be
many technical notes that will implement changes available in
experimental, thus people should be able to include them in their
code.
Of course, having the compilers implement those, is another
matter.
In defense of C++, beyond its C roots & compatibility, it also
have been the language that made the mistakes useful for the
other languages. That is, Java and C# capitalized on C++'s
mistakes by simply not repeating them. Of course, mistakes are
obvious only after they are made and, as such, C++ was in the
weakest position, just like any pioneer.
