C++ syntactic sugars

Namespaces are syntactic sugar, instead of doing:

namespace penis
{
unsigned char a=0;
}

you could just write:

unsigned char penis_a=0;


Distinction between public and private is stupid for the same reason described above.
Also, instead of using for and while you could just use if and goto. And I have several more examples...

Why do people keep designing bloated programming languages like C++?

Distinction between public and private is stupid for the same reason described above.

private (i.e file local/static variables and functions) are useful because they can easily be eliminated as dead code by linkers if they happened to not be used (like including a header file with a bunch of common static helper functions).
