I am not sure which language are you comparing it to but there is definitely a subset of C++ that is easy to use, very readable and type safe.
My only problem with C++ is somebody else code, because there is also a terrible subset of C++ where things can turn very hairy. But same can be said about C, and actually C sometimes encourage you to be "clever".
- nocman 12y agoYes, and I am fully aware of reasonable subsets of C++. However, there are multiple other languages that I would rather program in -- although there are still places where I would chose to use C or C++. I was mostly disappointed that when I tried to use many of the features of C++ that were beyond an intermediate level, the real warts of the language made it not worth the hassle. I suspect some of that has improved in the latest version of the language spec (and some in the version prior), but I haven't seen anything so far that has excited me enough to get back into it much.
