Why is C++...

Name: Anonymous 2011-12-07 12:06

...so bad? Why does it have such a bad reputation?

I'm an experienced C++ programmer and, while the language has warts, I can't understand the reason for the enormous amount of criticism against the language.

I'd like to hear the honest opinions of /prog/rammers in this regard.

>>151
They do understand them now, when they are in Visual Basic. The fact that Visual Basic only got them about five years ago is completely irrelevant to your argument, unless you want to argue that the average programmer's IQ jumped up forty points since then
Whatever, you can continue to willfully misinterpret what I say ad infinitum so there's no point in trying to correct you.

But for those following along at home, the point is that these programmers easily handle and adopt solutions to problems already yielded decades ago by lisps. Only when a lisper points out, "Hey lisp does this," the first response is always, "When would I ever need to do that?" Then some pet language full of syntactical blunders throws in a lambda or something and there's a million blog posts about how cool language X is for doing this.

They are retarded because the solution has been there the whole time, they've been told about it, and they choose to remain willfully ignorant. Like >>151 actually.

Which was that if Lisp really boosts productivity that much and is used by good programmers, then programs written in Lisp should dominate FOSS at least.
Non sequitur. You must be the most naive motherfucker on the entire planet.
