That isn't surprising. The code you constantly post always uses the most 
advanced features, uses every toy that is available, and the most 
elaborate algorithms.

And it is always utterly incomprehensible.

I suspect that most of the time this is unnecessary and you just write 
this way because you can. Or to show off. Or to write stuff it is 
impossible to write in C (good!).

This is where having fewer such features helps. If I port an algorithm 
to some new language X, then if it was originally in C, I'd have a 
fighting chance.

In C++ written by you, then forget it. I don't even need to look at the 
code. If you wrote novels, you'd be using a vocabulary 20 or 30 times 
bigger than any normal person understands. It really doesn't help.
