I've actually been using C++11 for two years now (experimental stuff in GCC), and yes I agree: C++ is loads better than it used to be, and it's a pleasure to work with.
That still doesn't mean it's a good idea to write a full web app in a C++ event loop while doing your own memory management. I've tried this (in C++11 no less), and it took nearly 30K LOC for me to admit defeat. I wish I were joking.
