I didn't downmod you, but I imagine someone had a problem with the question "Does anybody use C++ anymore?". Around here, probably not that many, but there is both a mountain of legacy code, and a good many domains where it's still appropriate (game development being a big one).
And, I guess, even more domains where it's not still appropriate, but where it's still used anyway. :)

- cheponis 19y agoThanks - very much. It is an honest question - if this is a "community", wouldn't you think community members would give me the benefit of the doubt? I have never seen C++ used in my entire career. I'm MIT 6-3A '76 - maybe I'm sheltered in only hanging out with excellent programmers. (aside: the gutless wonders who downvoted my original question did not respond to me directly at yc@culver.net - I suppose those folks are having their teenage fun trying to destroy this community? I have a proposal: whenever any of the "anointed " members of this community downmod anybody, they should be <b>required</b> to provide to the original poster a) their EMAIL ADDRESS so that the poster could respond, and b) their REASON for their action. In addition, I believe that NOBODY should be allowed more downmodding than upmodding - that is, you have to have "upmod points" before you're allowed to downmod - even if you are a Chosen One in the Secret Handshake Society of the YC Cult.)
