i had been a C++ hater for a long time, partly because of the environment i was in (strongly C, anti-C++) and partly because most of the C++ hackers i knew enjoyed abusing language features.
i'm reading a bunch of C++ lately and i have to say i like it, i like it a lot. it's something i may have to dive into and actually learn.
some of this is due, i think, to solid standards coming in, but also a lot of growth on my part as a coder.
plenty of things are done better in OOP than not, where re-use through inheritance, design by composition, and modularity are needed and well executed.
my bigotry against C++ has ended.
- adamnemecek 13y agoI've had a very similar experience. I too have learned to like C++. But every now and then I come across something like this https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/branches/3.0/src/api.cc#1294 https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/branches/3.0/src/... and some of it is back.
- pavanky 13y ago"I like your C++. I do not like your C++ programmers" -- Gandhi. While I am at it, it is my opinion that bad C++ programming style is much worse than bad C programming styles. For example http://i.imgur.com/xtohcJH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xtohcJH.jpg CUDA programmers would understand.
- thepicard 13y agoAren't namespaces a C++ feature?
- adamnemecek 13y agoI assumed that he switched C and C++ in that sentence.
- pavanky 13y ago@adamnemecek is right. I flipped around C and C++.
