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.

Virtually everything has fewer flaws in usability than C++ has. (including C!)
If you had ever used C and C++ you wouldn't say such nonsense. The first thing I do nowadays when I have to fix some piece of legacy C crap, I make it compile with g++ and then methodically throw out all zero-terminated strings, linked lists and other braindead bullshit from every place that I have to touch. Because in my extensive experience it's a totally worthy investment of effort.

They conclude its shit from wasting thousands of man hours on it.
Yes, a lot of people in IT have mild autism, which makes them latch on an imperfect tool and try to isolate and paint over all of its flaws. C++ attracts such people like 20lb of rotting meat attract flies. Then they come back to their senses with profound mental hangover and write C++FQAs.

C can do anything C++ can do and with less "pretend high level" bullshit.
You are an idiot.

A real high level language can do everything C++ can do WAY better than C++. (except manage memory and other low level shit. But that's what C is for.)
You are an idiot.

No human can fit C++ into his head
Third time is a charm, you really are an idiot!

Fuck it's like I'm really parroting Linus Torvalds
Don't flatter yourself, somehow you managed to omit all and every of his usual points in your rant ^^
