Considering that C++ is a conglomerate of at least the following:
- C
- C-with-classes (original C++)
- templates (class, function)
- template meta-programming
- variadic templates(pdf)
- lambda functions
- preprocessor macros, pragma's
each of which requiring specialized knowledge of their distinct implementation semantics.
You can use only some of the above and call your code "C++".
Still a language?, or else what is it?
