And that is true of any language, but C++ is without doubt one of the broadest. There are very different ways of working with it that compile very differently.

Is that really such a bad thing though?

Yes. Too much for people to learn, so they make mistakes. I've seen compilers get confused with C++. Though it was MS's....

If a language isn't tight, it should at least be safe. C++ is neither. You can do anything with it, but I don't think it's ever really a good tool for a particular job.
