I agree with DJ.

These languages are all toolkits.  When you have a toolkit, you 
get to decide what tools to use.  One fundamental concept of 
C++ is "what you don't use, you don't pay for".

Historically, there have been parts of C++ that not all 
compilers implemented, leading to perceived portability 
problems.  That's not really a problem any more, but even if it 
was, just avoid those features.
