C++ is excellent for library development.[1] C++ libraries present difficulties to distributors of precompiled systems in an environment where users need, for some random reason, to use the latest. g++ 3.3 is still available, and g++ 3.4 is still being maintained. You don't want your system to break ABI? Don't break ABI in *your* system, then.[2] This is the free software world.
