C++

1) Why do people not like C++?
2) Is C++ a good language to learn programming? Mind you, you don't need to use any of the advanced features.

test.cpp: In function 'void print(const StringToStringMap&)':
test.cpp:8: error: conversion from
'std::_Rb_tree_const_iterator<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >' to non-scalar type
'std::_Rb_tree_iterator<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >' requested

amirite?

Anyway, what's ridiculous is how all these high-level features are just ugly hacks. Good luck trying to explain to a newbie why ++iterator in a for loop is faster than iterator++.
