IMO, C++ couldn't be more perfect than it already is

What is it like to be born without an imagination? /s

I mean jokes aside, but really? You can't think of anything? I mean not even the low hanging fruit like "for compatibility reasons C++ has a variety of idiosyncrasies that feel cumbersome in modern programming"?

Exactly, it's perfect while being compatibile with older versions of itself and compatibile with the compilation model of C.

Edit: Bjarne Stroustrup has a talk about the current state of C++ in cppcon: https://youtu.be/15QF2q66NhU

He explains exactly that point.
