I _completely_ agree. I think people need to start talking about how, when combined with the right tools and compilers, you can achieve nearly anything you can with another "modern" language more expressively and faster, all while being compatible with decades of massive c, c++, and objective-c libraries.
Perhaps we should start with dispelling the old notion that one "shouldn't use" the STL.
- 72deluxe 12y agoDo people really not use the STL? It's incredibly useful, and portable!
- ixtli 12y ago(Sorry for the late reply.) But yes, I find that people who've made careers out of programming in non c++ languages never revisit it when planning a project because they have this weird notion that it "slow" or "poorly implemented." I really don't know where this is comes from but I've heard it from many people i've worked with over the years.
