The more I program in ________[Language], the more I love it. I'm sort
of scaring myself, really. I find myself thinking, "if/when I change
jobs, it's only going to be to a place that uses ________[Language], and
NEVER to a place that uses C++".

Congratulations! You have successfully detected that C++ was a huge hack
designed by someone putting a square peg in a round hole to comply with
the buzzword of the day.
I'd much rather use any other language, even ASM rather then C++. Java
has definately lowered the difficulty of coding, allowing many more
people to write code. If this is a good thing is up for debate. Now if
any of the other promises of Java held true... but it's hot and has lots
of buzzwords.
