> I dabbled with Fortran IV and Pascal too early on, a bit later with C too, at the same time, but I always found the need to manually manage storage (How long to plan a string? Or how large should an array be?) annoying. No need for planning storage most of the time in modern languages, even modern C++ you can just say std::string s = "hello"; s += " world!"; And the string will automatically resize to fit "hello world!"
