This is pretty much the way I use C++; as C, except with the occasional excursion into C++ when it's more convenient.
The downside is that while I claim to be able to program in C++, my C++ idiom has nothing in common with anyone else's. For example: what the hell is an STL? How do exceptions work? I have no clue.
- luser001 14y agoPractical use of the STL can be learned in an afternoon. Just focus on the Big Four: string, map, vector, and unordered_map (last one is in in c++11 only). The venerable original SGI document should take you quite a ways: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/table_of_contents.html http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/table_of_contents.html Good luck, in case you decide to do this.
- pmjordan 14y agoI think it's probably worth knowing the language and at least trying out all of it. Holding an opinion from an ignorant position is just blind dogma. Who knows, you might discover a delightfully useful facet.
