I think C++ has aged relatively poorly, some other languages have aged worse, but C++ certainly isn't in the "top 10 languages that have aged the nicest" bracket.
Some real standouts that make think that are; digraphs and trigraph operators.
Having 12 different keywords for access modifiers is another standout too.
I could probably think of others, but that's sort of why I think that. (Shrugs)
