I haven't used C++ in a long time, but I didn't like it when I did use it. The FQA brought me much comedic joy when I found it, but I'm wondering how serious the criticism is.
I guess I'm not sure if I should treat the FQA as a valid analysis of C++ shortcomings, an entertaining document, or pointless whining.
Any thoughts?
- _yosefk 9y agoAuthor here. I personally treat it as a valid analysis of C++ shortcomings that unfortunately fails to address later standards starting with C++11, a hopefully entertaining document, and, insofar as it can't make someone compelled to use C++ any less compelled to use it, pointless whining. I think you hit the nail on the head 3 times. Glad to hear you enjoyed it (in hindsight, much of my own writing there feels cringeworthy to me, so I'm always happy when someone sees through the bad parts.)
