Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector.
I understand why programmers of a more fundamental approach scorn anything with a garbage collector, but I do fail to understand why they do not view improving the shortcomings of garbage collection as a programming challenge.

I like C with classes but its abstraction is terrible. C with classes is an elaborate attempt at bastardizing C's syntax.

C++, the occasional bit of assembly language and a small sprinkling of home-grown DSLs (often a Lisp variant, or maybe just something simple and declarative like JSON) for code generation or data specification is the true god tier.

C++ is easy to learn. Even the most arcane meta-template and pointer syntax can groked in a day(not professionally, just enough to use it). IHBT .

C++ is easy if you know Linux, practically a C++ developers wet dream: everything is open source and in C++.

No! Linux is mostly C and a bit of Perl. It's more Windows applications that are in Sepples.

There is a depressing amount of python too. Damn config scripts spend more time waiting on python than they do user input.

The output of
ps aux |grep python is heartbreaking.

At first I read that as
ps aux |grep python is heartbreaking which disturbed me greatly.

Yeah, me too. Why would you pipe text to grep, give it filenames on the command line, and not include
- in the list?
