It talks about ranges, shared/unique pointers, lambdas... Essentially a lot of things C is lacking. I don't know where exacly the overlap you're insinuating comes from.
Since we are all “hackers” here, I’ll be pedantic…
“While it is a great language…”
The “it” pronoun clearly refers to the C++ language, as I’m sure you intended.
“…ir would profit from less ‘lets code C with C++ compiler ’ attitude.”
The “ir” — presumably a typo for “it” — can refer to the article or C++. Given that this thread is about an article, the second “it” referring to the article is a natural assumption.
