Smart pointers look interesting, but the reliance on operator overloading gives me the willies. For example, this article http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/smart-pointers.html points out that you could implement any number of memory management strategies with smart pointers. Which is cool, but unsettling. I just don't think I can trust a language when I can never be totally confident of what will happen when I say x = y.

Which brings us right back to the argument for a simple language, without things automagically happening when you're not looking.

Best,
