C++ hatred

Why is C++ hated so much here in /prog/? Many good software are written in C++.

I'm aware that there are some problems in the language and it is considered "hard" to master it, but why do so many people hate it? What harm has it done?

Software can be written much quicker when using some scripting languages like Python. Software can be writte slightly quicker when using some managed language like Java. But when using those languages, the resulting program will require more resources to run. So there is place for C++.

For example, I bet the web browser of 99% people browsing /prog/ is written in C++. It's not perfect language, but it is the best language for complex program with relatively small CPU and RAM requirements.

I knew 3 of those people (and now I know all of them). Yeah, they are smarter than me. That does not mean they are correct when they're saying C++ is horrible. Many smart people C++ is good (or at least ok) language.

I bet you don't even know this book existed.
I do know it. I bought the first chapter few months ago. I've just read maybe 50 pages (trying to figure out at least some of the exercises... ok it's fucking collecting dust in the shelf, too 'busy' right now).

C++ is not perfect. But there is no real alternatives to it, high level, compiling to native code and fast runtime (GC is too slow for some cases). Maybe Ada? Maybe not.
