Please stop the strawmans and polemics and allow your ego to consider the opinion of someone who is, in all likelihood, more experienced in shipping product written in C++. > If you want to insist all heap allocates are always shared_ptr you can certainly do that. Personally I'd consider that dreadfully slow & expensive Oh well. I have a feeling we're not going to agree. Maybe let's discuss again in a few years. Maybe I'll have tried std::move then and found that it is somewhat useful in certain special situations. And maybe you'll have realized that the "dreadfully slow & expensive" shared_ptr doesn't make a difference in terms of end product quality in, I'd wager to say, 99.99% of situations. > at that point you're far, far better off just using a GC'd language instead. Uuhhm, no.
