!! GarbageCollection (not)
Since BjarneStroustrup liked [Simula67 | http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_simula.html] but decided GarbageCollection was "too slow", he designed his own perfect language with ObjectOrientation but no GarbageCollection. Quite a few people will readily assume he must have been on crack. Besides having to manage memory yourself, you now have to cope with new syntactic sugar that can conceal which part of your code is responsible for what bits on your heap. Great fun - really!

Your compiler will segfault regularly instead of producing error reports when you stuff up a [Template] definition. When it does produce an error report, it looks like the (drastically snipped down) one below (in this case it's from the [STL]).
