I feel like an abused spouse after C++. I now avoid: - Inheritance - Reference counting - Threading - Templates - Classes if possible - Hidden memory allocation - Anything that looks clever Anytime I use them I get flashbacks to some mangled mess of templated threaded classes with some memory leak that shows up after 3 days. I remember writing C++ and trying to figure out how the design would work between these classes, I would end up with something complicated and not entirely correct. Eventually, I thought, what if I did this in C? What would it look like, 90% it turns out with 90% less design and code (and bugs).
