Anyway, wow did I have a wall-o-text to add here, but, maybe some of the funny in the link above is good enough. There’s a lot of really smart people in this thread, giving good arguments and well thought out reasoning. Just seems to me that there might be little more to add on the topic, and perhaps a better outlet would be in order. Maybe clearing up some answerhub questions or tutorials? That could make for a more effective debate. I mean…seems pretty clear that a larger portion of the anti-C++ debate comes from people who don’t primarily program in it…so, let’s help them make it their go-to language. Right?
