I've never really programmed in C++, but I have to say (as an iOS developer who's programmed in Java, Basic, C# in the past) I love Objective-C. It's really easy to write good, object-oriënted code in the language and it got so much better with the release of iOS 5 and the new SDK, especially because of ARC. I'm not sure if C++ has anything comparable to ARC.
- killedbydeath 15y agoC++ had implicit reference counting for many years now (more than a decade for sure).
- albertzeyer 15y agoI wasn't sure what ARC is: It means Automatic Reference Counting. http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html In C++, you have std::shared_ptr (or boost::shared_ptr and many others) which do automatic reference counting (although you specify it explicitly that these pointers have automatic reference counting; there is no way to simply enable it for all raw pointer types).
