Is that a thing? I always saw more of that in the Java world than C++ -- Java's standard library is rife with the singleton factory decorator monstrosities that have come to be associated with OO, C++ and the standard library have always felt more generic-programy. Now egregious use of obscure template meta programming tricks because of perceived (vs measured) performance gains, I've seen some horrors there...
- pjmlp 10y agoWhen the design patterns book was written it was all about Smalltalk and C++. I guess you missed the boat on CORBA, COM and DCOM, fun days... J2EE architects were mostly former C++ architects that moved into Java land. Also UWP APIs are actually the second coming of COM as .NET was originally supposed to be.
