C++ is the monkey's paw of programming languages. Sure, it'll grant your wishes, but you'll end up paying some terrible price for it in the end.

- nosnos 11y agoHow is this different with every other language? At least C++ is being maintained gracefully so one could update it with newer ways of doing the same thing and still work versus a language that is dead and you're stuck leaving it or reimplementing the program completely in something else. Or you're using a language that is new and version 0.6 completely breaks 0.5 so you can't ever upgrade without rewriting parts of it and yeah, you should upgrade because 0.5 has some horrible security vulnerability.
