C++ is a language with lots of noise in it distracting you from the real logic you are trying to implement. When you code you should not be wasting time defining a copy constructor or assignment operator private just so you don't burn your butt accidentally for example. A language with such kinda bizarre gotchas is a badly designed one and drains energy away from developers.

C++ needs to clean itself up. Get rid of the useless language traps and make it at least intellisense-able and refactor-able FGS. Perhaps we need a language D that has the native perf edge while without the juvenile language goofs.

Making C++ more productive is simple, just make IntelliSense work with C++ as in C# ^^

C++ is designed to be IntelliSense-impossible b/c of all those macros it inherits from C.

When you have a bunch of #ifdef or #ifndef around IDE cannot tell what those MARCOs really mean so it cannot intellisense them for you.

HTML5 is dead.

LOL. Just f***ing kill H5, MSFT. God I hate those JS junk apps. Make it happen.

Our company is also converting a lot of old Winform, ActiveX apps into SilverLight. If only there were the right-click context menu, but it's still very impressive.
