Quick question then (which may be a bit naive). What happens when this crypto tech falls into the hands of terrorists - the ones that target human lives?

When you said simpler, I hoped you'd be advocating less abstraction. Anyway, opinions on C++ largely depend on what kind of software you're developing. If you're not writing high-performance apps, there are more productive than languanges than C++. Otherwise, less abstraction is absolutely neccessary especially for memory management. So C++11 has no choice but to remain as feature rich as it is. You should have to pick what features to work it.
