Kind of a dumb point. STL has map and hash_map. Failing to use them has nothing to do with the language, just stupidity.
- herdrick 19y agoI think language has a lot to do with it. To do the same thing in Python, Ruby, Scheme or whatever there is just less to think about. This frees up your brain to think about algorithims and little else. C++ is jammed with distractions. It's not that dynamic languages make a problem super easy, but they do help quite a bit.
