Sorry for OT, but this is incorrect. Latest Stroustrup still has a section
on the incompatibilities. Think of compiling this with a c/c++ compiler:

int main(int virtual, char * protected[]) { return virtual; }

IIRC code that works in both languages but with different semantics 
exists.

Your Statement would be true if you s/C++/Objective-C/. Maybe you think of 
that?


To the OP: Maybe you're interested in the LotY (Language of the 
Year, http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/loty/ ) project.
