Problem with C++ is that it's easy to add stuff, and super hard to get it out of the language again. Inevitably leads to bloat and an accumulation of wrong decisions.
- blub 4y agoYou’re obviously wrong, it’s very hard to add stuff. Both technically and from an ISO perspective.
- johannes1234321 4y agoStill a lot simpler than removing something.
- lovecg 4y agoArguably a lot of newer additions are there as an alternative to past bad decisions, and things do get deprecated and removed now and then.
- bluGill 4y agoC++ is not much larger than any other language. It doesn't fit together as nice as others, but it isn't really much larger either. Unless your code is trivial, you will be working with a project that is much larger than all of C++. That last is also why no language can afford to get rid of anything (see python 3 which took over a decade to catch on), someone is using the old thing in code they don't want to touch.
