On: C++ and the Culture of Complexity (2013)

>C++ is a language with a lot of features, and not all of them should be used in every code base.

That's not up to the individual coder coming later to a codebase. Or wanting to use a library that enforces those features, etc.

And the design of the features can impact how other features are implemented, even one doesn't use them.
