- pjmlp 5y agoKind of, although C++ does have an advantage that others lack, it also shares the same symbiotic relationship with UNIX, by having been born on the same place as UNIX and C, by the same group of people of Bell Labs employees and initially started as C pre-processor. Which is also a reason why it cannot get rid of the flaws it inherited from such relationship.
