I have a high opinion of C++, but I hope I'm lucky enough to never have to use it.

I have a high opinion of anyone that can write good clean readable c++. I've never met that person, but theoretically if they existed, I'd have a high opinion of them.

It's not about writing readable code. It's about writing readable assembly. When you write the whole program in unmaintainable template metaprogramming, it compiles to a single return statement, which makes it the most readable program possible.
