When I first started learning C++ (back in the bad old days) Siiiigh. Here we go again, the C++ hate bandwagon. Let's see why he thinks this. I was convinced that any 1st year student could design a better programming language. That's normal for someone who doesn't yet have any idea what he's talking about. One which behaved in a sane fashion without a lot of legacy cruft. Okay, that's kind of vague... In many ways, PHP is that programming language. Nope. No, it isn't. Not at all. PHP is a mishmash of C-ish APIs that get things randomly backwards along with some handy built-in constructs. Also, it has some of the most appalling documentation of any mainstream language. works without having to know lots of esoteric computer science. I would love to know what "esoteric computer science" necessary to use C++, or any language for that matter. But that's not contained in this link-bait-y post.
