the wow effect in c++ 'yeah i can do this cool stuff i read about in another language also in in c++. i just have to use this fancy lib and its really cool what you can reach with templates.' i foud always stunning. anyway it is no good for efficiency - but having worked with c++ for some years makes you vety efficient in more simple languages. i ser following drawbacks of c++ - the default is very often not what you should do. this is the price for backwards compatibility this makes it hard for the novice but you get used to. - the incredible long build times esp when working with modern libs. how many hours did i spend waiting for the compiler and how many for optimizing ny precompiled headers. this is really a produxtivity killer. its has also historical reasons but i dont understand why no proper module system gets depeloped - the lack of support for runtime errors. for 7 years i have not seen a crashing java program without giving me a hint where it crashed. and actually i have seen far less total crashes. in c++ you do one small thing wrong and the whole program ends with an abnormal program termination and you dont have any clue what happened.
