it annoys me when people come up to me to tell i shouldn't be using c++ for project X. Like I don't know exactly what I'm doing or exactly what C++ is for. I mainly do game development, but if you've made a game you know how time consuming it is to actually get something usable/playable/fun at the end. Between projects I like to take brakes and work on other smaller applications. some of those applications are in c++ so I have some testing grounds to come back to so I don't loose my edge - and too often I get some grade-A BOZO telling me I'm using the "wrong" language and the falling into his diarrhea diatribe about his favorite language X and how it's SOOOOOO COOL and SSSOOOO HIP and SSSOOO EXPRESSIVE as if those are things I care about. it's such a handicap being a c++ coder in an environment like that, it's like I'm not eligible to hang out with the hip kids/zealots because they have some religious animosity against something they never use. what a joke of a culture that becomes.
