No, it's not great. In fact, it's not even very good. There are many things that cannot be done easily. It is bound to one vendor who can change the standard on a whim and sue any alternative vendors. It is clearly intended for ENTERPRISE program and makes inefficient use of it's keywords. Much of it's power comes from doing things that are considered harmful. It's standard library has almost nothing in common with other libraries.
Still, it is mostly simple to write and very simple to read. It is a lot of what Seeples should have been. It knows it's place and stays there. It does not puke and bleed out on the simplest of errors. Where did Bjarn go wrong? Was it the megalomania and feature creep? Was it too much focus on compatibility with C?
