C++11 totally could have started skipping destructors for moved out values only. They chose not to, and part of the reason was safety. I don't agree with you about shared_ptr (it's very common to use it for a small number of large

C++ isn't always "unsafe-but-high-perf". Move semantics are a good example. The spec goes to great lengths to ensure safety in a huge number of scenarios, at the cost of performance. Mostly shows up in two ways: one, unnecess

Let's stop at the first half. If I pay somebody to dig a ditch. Period. End of story. Let's assume I'm not clinically insane and I actually needed that ditch for something. Is the sum still zero? Just because pointless things

That's a very reductionist view of economy. For starters, it ignores the entire services sector, which is like half of GDP of most developed capitalist countries. Services are an extremely clear example of positive sum - no resources d

Windows used to be half operating system, half preconfigured compatibility tweaks for all kinds of applications. That's how it kept its backwards compatibility.
