>Like every programming language out there, C++ is a tool. And like every tool out there it has its uses. And like every tool some tools are crap and other tools are good. Not saying C++ is crap but I'm definitely saying that it is unwise to use this analogy to believe that there are no crap tools out there. There's this thing that happens among programming languages where everyone likes to think all programming languages are just apples and oranges and everything is equal. The truth about the world is equality is rare... some things are good and others pure liquid shit. Programming languages are not immune from this property of the universe. Now about C++... What you say about it is true. I completely agree. However, much of the good of C++ comes with a pile of crap that you have to deal with that's often not worth it for the majority of projects. In my opinion C++ is only good because there's no alternative unless you count Rust or D.
