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.

According to http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~necula/ this matthew harren graduated in 2007 and now works at Google. The interesting part of this is that one of the patents he has filed for Google had him listed as being from Fremont, CA, this is interesting because Kodak has said hella a couple of times, which is native to northern California.

I'm not sure, but why would he chose a random PhD student though? I'm going to assume that this person might know who Kodak is.

He also recently had a profile at mylife.com
