C++ is actually an esoteric language, not unlike Haskell or Prolog. It is just a widely used one, for historical reasons.
Meanwhile, you may just get things done in Java without giving much thought.
- icedchai 4y agoWhen there are orders of magnitude more people working with C++ compare to Haskell or Prolog, I would hesitate to call it "esoteric." The problem with C++ is everyone uses their own little dialect, ranging from little more than C with classes / nicer syntax, to every new "modern" feature under the sun.
