Hasn't it ? I have no trouble e.g. replacing a hash map or container by another implementation in C++. We live in an era where we have libraries for everything and it takes seconds (okay, sometimes minutes) to introduce them in a codebase and swap them. What more do you want ?
- mmphosis 6y agoC++ libraries are baked in, broken, or missing. C++ class hierarchies are not objects. To me, objects are like biological cells that can poly-transform and communicate on the fly. Both libraries and class hierarchies are not just jails, but dependency hells. Want and more are problems. What do we need? Everything including functions can be abstracted as live data. I want to connect objects live, changing on the fly. The "C++ text -> compile -> link -> install / run" pipeline is way too clunky.

I wonder how much better our profession would be if we had code psychiatrists, that would help people move past the bad experiences they had with $LANGUAGE. > Everything including functions can be abstracted as live data. I want to connect objects live, changing on the fly. well, you can use puredata or max/msp for that, and then when your program ends up being too slow and clunky because of the lack of optimizations, you can mail me for rewriting it in C++ at a cost :-)
