   Correct. Still is available. Pretty primitive though.

   That might look so at a first glance (reading featurelists), however if you   
   dive deeper, this is not correct.  E.g. the guarantees about constructors   
   and deconstructors are not the same.

   But way less productive. Moreover, most of the C++ power is useless.

   If I do something with language X, I typically do this in language X, not Y.   
   More languages than strictly necessary, only increase the complexity.
