C++ is excellent for library development.[1]

C++ libraries present difficulties to distributors of precompiled
systems in an environment where users need, for some random reason, to
use the latest.

g++ 3.3 is still available, and g++ 3.4 is still being maintained. You
don't want your system to break ABI? Don't break ABI in *your* system,
then.[2] This is the free software world.

[2] I don't remember Red Hat / Fedora ever upgrading GCC like that for a
given system version. But maybe I just don't remember much.
