So sad.  Not that they flee C++ for other languages, but sad for the other 
languages they flee to.  When I fled C++ I went to Modula 3.  It's 
really too bad the user community for Modula 3 is so small.  My only 
complaint about it is its wordy syntax.  Where  it matters -- 
semantics, speed, reliability, and static checking -- it's just fine.

No, I'm not suggesting rewriting monotone in Modula 3.
