Seriously, WHY haven't I been told about this?

GTK is a horrible experience for coders and sometimes for users and that's what that fucker Shuttlecocks keeps pushing for Linux. I think they need to make a less ricer Qt4 desktop environment instead.

The thing is, it's impossibly to code in C++ effectively. Just like Perl, it's too flexible and lacks a coherent unified coding style, and thus encourages a divergence of standards and conventions that results in badly written code even from the most seasoned developers. It is a mistake of a past age that should be abandoned.

But how easy a language is to screw up is a a measure of how good a language is. Look at how far we've progressed, in the past we had C++ and Perl, and we learned from those mistakes. Now we have Java and Python, which are much cleaner and more difficult to screw up. We have learned that unnecessary flexibility is a detriment not an advantage, and designed new languages accordingly. Unfortunately these new languages aren't as fast as C++ so we are still stuck with it. At least Perl is being phased out.

I doubt that's the case. C and Objective-C are as low level as C++ but have none of the ugliness. It shouldn't be difficult to design a proper low level OO language to replace C++, the problem is with it catching on.
