Frankly, If I had to think this hard to get my code written, I wouldn't be writing very much of it. Thank heavens for small languages that leave my brain cycles to think about solving other problems.
But don't listen to me, listen to Linus and Rob Pike.

- stephen_g 14y agoDo you mean a small language such as C? Because I disagree completely. Whenever I use C, I always seem to find myself wishing for C++'s string class, the STL containers and exception handling... There are libraries for C to get containers and things but C interfaces tend to be uglier (in my opinion) and it's annoying to have to use a lot of 3rd party stuff to get things that come with C++. Just because C++ has a ton of other features (many of which are pretty easy to use incorrectly if you don't know how) doesn't mean you have to use all of them.
