Anti-C++ Hipsters

People who hate C++ are only doing so because it's hip and cool to hate on something that seems too complex at first glance. You want to be seen as cool and edgy, as someone who goes against the grain, when in reality you're just another annoying undergraduate that will probably have a hard time finding a job in the field.

C++ is not perfect, but no language is. Get over it.

the variable goes out of scope, not the object.

Object o1
{
 Object o2 = new Object();
 o1 = o2;
}

{
  o2 = new Object(); // failure
  o1.hashCode(); // ok
}

regardless of the exact technical wording of "scope", same variable name in different scopes is very different than repurposing a variable in its same scope. next you'll tell me overloaded functions are the same as dynamically assigned functions.
