That's a loaded question.  *I* certainly can't justify the existence of C++.
After all, Simula, in 1967, had most of the class hierarchy and LIGHTWEIGHT
PROCESSES TOO!  I think I'll wait for an Object Oriented language that has
the capability of simultaneous execution of several objects ( C+++? ).  Single
thread execution goes against the object abstraction.
