C++ has few surprises? This is from Scott Meyers, author of several books on the intricacies of C++:
> I no longer plan to update my books to fix technical errors.It's not that I'm too lazy to do it. It's that in order to fix errors, I have to be able to identify them. That's something I no longer trust myself to do.
He then goes on to explain how the language is so complex, that in two years he has already forgotten enough of the gotchas to trust himself. This is far short of a language with no surprises.
