I really question whether competent C++ developers are hard to find. There are lots of C++ jobs out there so it's not as if the language isn't being used. You really have to try _not_ to learn something about a language after using it for a while.

In my experience the problem is resistance to the unknown, no matter how much that unknown might improve one's productivity.
