Grunt developer here. I don't get the need for all this syntactic sugar they are going for in the language. It's like they secretly want C++ to work and be as easy to write as python but still have all the low level "power".
C/C++ is best when its readable, explicit, and concise. All this new syntax does is try to keep up with the cool kids.

I'm not a C++ dev and everything that I read about it screams "bloat". Is there an agreed-upon set of features which basically just adds OO to C?
