Some of the reasons are related to C++ itself: lack of standard ABI,
large differences between compilers making it harder to write portable
code. Other reasons would apply to any language: more complex build
process, more external tool dependencies, harder to debug, developers
need to be familiar with both languages, harder to copy code around,
etc.

None of these are showstoppers, but it needs a *really* good reason to
overcome all of them. So far I haven't heard anything convincing
enough.
