Oh yeah? What about C++?

Good luck finding anybody with a "very positive" view of C++ other than maybe Bjarne.

People that do real work with C++ will give you an honest assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. There are good reasons it's still so widely used and it's still the right tool for some jobs. Using it for something it's not well suited for is a mistake, of course.

Of course it's also a tool with a lot of legacy cruft accumulated over decades so it's not a great analogy for Tailwind.

C++ will gladly create the dementia for you.
