I haven't seen the latest edition of 'The C++ Programming Language' but
the edition I have looks a lot like C. With classes of course :)

C plus classes, templates, operator overloading, move constructors,
range-based for loops, lambdas, namespaces, containers, threads and mutexes,
promises and futures...

Part of the problem was many of the early C++ books were based on the
Microsoft implementation, bought into Hungarian notation, and went
overboard with what you could do leading people to believe they should do
it all the time, if that makes sense. And the dog says 'woof' unless he's
a doberman that says 'grrrr'.

Imma hate those hungarian "warts".
