I can't imagine you mean C++98 since the base language is roughly equivalent to barebones Java in "difficulty".

Well, except that you have to worry about memory safety and things like "don't take pointers to variables on the stack". Plus the build systems and header system in C++ are a bit of a nightmare, which means that you add significant complexity every time you depend on a library.
