C++ hatred

Name: Anonymous 2012-01-08 12:26

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.

Nah, this comes from a programming project at work. I had a case where every elment in A and B were such that A was an element of B. But the rest of the idiots on here wouldn't know about such things because they just work general labor jobs -(.
