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.

i don't see why i need to distinguish between lvals and rvals when discussing type safety in general. anyway, related:

java is not without some dumb stuff and i always hated factories. however, i'm entirely not convinced that scripting languages are as magical as you make them out to be. also, i have always despised duck typing. if an api chose not to implement an interface, then you probably shouldn't be throwing objects from that api into another api just because the function sigs match up.

anyway, open up the error console in FF and load news.google.com. tons of warnings. no one cares. this is scripting, if we can slap it together and it doesn't fall apart, our day is done.
