Do we actually need this complexity?

More I read Ruby less I find C++ interesting language. Argument of performance slowly looses its significance as processor speeds double every 18 months. Still there is some elegance to be found in C++, even if it does not manifest itself in styles employed by most code-bases.

I keep one reading C/C++ Users Journal as I’m attached to this language, even if I get more and more annoyed by oddities from the Holly Standard. For example did you know that currently there is no standard way of accessing class private member from a nested class? That std::vector.top() has no precisely defined signature? Or some other strange feature needing an language lawyer for clarification?
