Most higher level languages (java, c#, python) handle most of those much better, albeit with a different set of trade offs. Things like adding a private field to a class won't break binary compatibility in a c# apllication. C++ is fairly unique in that it tries to be high level and tries to be low level but the cost is it pushes the complexity of this split personality onto the developers.
