If you’re a C/C++ programmer where you’re already at 100/100 on the above chart, where is your motive to switch here?

Someone a little biased here? That scale doesn't even mention concurrency, compilation speed, and duck typing.

In other words: here's some attributes, all of which C++ is "good at." These are the only attributes against which we should measure systems programming.

I think assembly has C++ beat on a lot of those, yet C++ has the top score. Hmmm.
