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 like C++ and there's nothing you can do about it.

I know C++, C, Python, Java, C#, Javascript, PHP, PL/SQL plus some BASIC craps. From these, C++ is my favourite. I very much enjoy writing C, which is very different from writing C++, and it's not very productive. I also enjoy very much writing Python, which is fast to write, but ridiculously slow. I very much enjoy writing in C++, which is more productive than C and as fast C (if programmed well).

Of course, the chosen language depends on project. For most web stuff and misc scripting I would use Python. For desktop most applications I would use C++. For embedded micro chip programming I would use C.

Also, Lisp is shit.

Also, even though GC is shit, I'm planning on learning some FP language.. maybe OCaml or Haskell.
