This doesn't have any sense at all, there's no reason why C++ is not a valid
language for command line apps (like C is perfect...hint: python/perl/etc
are famous languages to write command line scripts because of a reason). There's
lot of serious software written in C++ (dpkg, for one).

C in fact was created to write a operative system in a time when writting things
in asm was the rule. Looking back at the history and learning the lesson from
C, common sense tells me that there're lots of problems that can be solved in a
much easier way with C++ just like C vs asm in the 60-70's....
