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.

Could you name these better languages? I can think of a few things C/++ could do to help the compiler, but I can't think of a language that actually has them (possibly because I don't know too many :p).

Well, implementing lambda's wasn't difficult at all. It actually works out quite nicely consider C++ already had functors.

@People talking about sets: A class of sets contains the empty subset. You can't consider a set in its own right to contain it.

A proper subset is a subset that isn't equal to its superset.
