>Once again, where's your proof? You know, studies, experiments, demonstrations comparing real-world (or even dummy) projects and concluding the above?

I explicitly said no. I'm not here to fulfill your personal requests. If that's what you want, Hacker News comments are probably the wrong place to ask, and I'm not personally interested in conducting such studies. I'm already convinced, so it wouldn't really benefit me much.

>Because gut feelings aren't going to convince me, or any other questioning individual.

OK. This isn't gut feelings though. It's a discussion about subjective matters.

If that was too much writing, then so is any meaningful discussion about the differences between programming languages. I'm not going to attempt to discuss this further.

The whole point of my initial reply was to challenge an oft repeated belief that using FP results in more reliable systems. This belief doesn't really have solid proof behind it.

If you're not providing that proof because it's beneath you, or for some other reasons you've really just wasted everyone's time here by repeating the same appeal to feelings and personal experience for the Nth time.

I addressed the core of your arguments against C++. The rest has been discussed before by myself and others. It's nothing new on HN.
