Perhaps this is true for your applications (and why no option 3: developer knows C++ well and is efficient in it?), but not all of us can goof around with GC's and a complete lack of performance oriented features.
Not all of us have a huge runtime to support our language which runs on our target platform.
Not all of us write code which is 90% boring, UI or CRUD type stuff.
Not all of us are ok with delivering bloated applications that require hardware upgrades to run at the same speed they ran at 5 years ago.

But apparently you CAN goof around with KLOCs of useless boilerplate and the added defects they imply [1].

- nurettin 10y agoI am fine with IDEs generating boilerplate. I am not fine with maintaining it unless it is easy to navigate to parts of code concerning what needs to be maintained. I live in a 20 year old MLOC land and whenever we need to add or change a subtle behavior, we go debugging for half an hour at best.
