C++11: The Downfall of C

Now that C++11 is beginning to appear in popular compilers, C is becoming less relevant. C is now useful only to kernel writers and embedded systems programmers. You will not achieve employment with C as long as C++11 exists.

Prepare your anus.

having to manuallyt manage memory in C++ is a waste of time

- There are many third party garbage collectors for C++.

- These GCs are rarely used because RAII is more efficient than GC and easy to use.

- Smart pointers are now standard in the C++11 STL, although Boost has had them for a decade. In particular shared_ptr uses reference counting to avoid the need to explicitly delete. For 90% of code where the STL is permitted, you can get away with always using shared_ptr.

- Valgrind, Dr. Memory, and countless other tools make it very difficult to mess up memory management.
