To be clear, I’m in the “C++ sucks” camp. But I don’t agree that C++ “can’t be fixed”. I’d rather say that some problems with C++ can’t be fixed, but others can be. People will still use it, and that is entirely sensible and rational, and it makes sense to improve it. Long-term, maybe C++ will fade into the same kind of sunset that Fortran and Cobol currently occupy. I’m not gonna make fun of Fortran users, or tell them to move on. There’s even a Fortran 2018. Trying to allocate people to only the “best” possible work—say, replacing C++—is just poor allocation of resources. |
