Not all of us who are unwilling to deal with the decades of bad language design C++ displays feel this way because we lack talent and experience.

- steego 12y agoI'm always surprised when programmers confuse unidirectional implication with bidirectional implication. I'm only making a comment that alternatives to C++ are really good at attracting people who never developed the discipline required to write good C++. Experienced and talented C++ developers don't really have C++ problems, so most articles trying to lure them away with promises of memory safety using contrived examples will fall on deaf ears. I know many good and experienced programmers with former C++ experience who detest it. Personally speaking, I'm an average but fairly experienced programmer, so I tend to prefer tools that help me catch my mistakes so I can focus on solving problems cleanly.
