Oh yeah @Rad how did that one slip my mind. IMHO ur absolutely spot on. I have had my hair raising experiences with it just earlier this year -original message- Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] A skeptic's history of C++ From: "Rad!" <conradakunga@gmail.com> Date: 23/11/2010 1:27 pm @Steve i think the most difficult language to master crown belongs without question to that beast assembly On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 1:13 PM, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:

I attended a forum and one of the topics was based on what this writer had writen. If you read this article better, he has no basis for his argument and ends up saying C++ has future. As a developer who uses C/C++ for my primary development, I can assure you when it comes to performance and power, You dont beat either of C and C++. True C++ is a beast of a language that can take you years and years just to begin to truly understaning it.

Apparently the writer had no bench mark stats for most of his arguements.

True C++ is probably the most difficult programming language to master today... lots of undefined behavior thats left to the vendors to figure out. Its weakness has also made it, its strongest point.

Without getting into too much C++ politics I'd say its still an interesting read
