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.

Lisp has
1.Horrible syntax with prefix notation
2.Much less libraries than C++
3.Horrible elitist community
4.Success stories repeated ad infinitum:Naughty Dog wrote a Lisp-like language==LISP++, Paul Graham wrote a shitty webapp==LISP IS SUPERIOR TO EVERYTHING.
C++ has
1.normal syntax with minimal quirks
2.Fuckton of libraries, compiler, tools, IDEs
3.Many people eager to solve problems for each other
4.The language proved itself by dominating the entire industry
Guess which one average programmer will choose?
