Are you suggesting we move to C++++?
Personally I like C+. Picking the nice parts of C++, but skipping all the nonsense. I just wish C++ hadn't deliberately screwed up designated initializers with mandatory ordering. The C version of it that allows out-of-order assignments is clearly superior.
Didn't you read the article? That form is deprecated. The recommended one is C,++,++
It's already there. It's called C#
