C++'s boilerplate is maybe 10th on my list of major beefs with the language, so to me it seems to have the wrong priorities. Still interesting to see a take on it though. > 1. using := instead of = is straigh up worse. No way i'd use 2 characters instead of 1 for an operator that common. Less typoing "==" as "=" and your code still compiling though, and it's ":=" instead of "auto ... =" - so 4 fewer characters. > 2.i don't think the eventuality of bugs really justifies the repetition of public and private at EVERY SINGLE variable, that's a lot of repetitions C# got me used to that!
