> Another favorite “criticism” I have of C++ goes along the lines of “but someone could overload operator+ to be division!” I have only seen that as a contrived critic’s example, or a joke. Yeah there's definitely criticisms you can throw at C++, but this always struck me as stupid. You could also write an `add` method that divides in Java. I've never liked the idea of 'operators' in the first place, tbh. Scheme opened my eyes in that they're all just procedures. And then with Smalltalk and Scala I saw that they can all just be methods as well.
