Love that observation on C++. That's the reason I love C++. It's a language for those who need, nay crave, absolute raw performance. No training wheels. Short of assembly, it's just as close to the machine as you can get.

Very cute for hobby projects, a huge liability for commercial projects.

Use as many training wheels there as humanly possible, please.

Sure. I use Java, Python and Javascript all the time. But when I need the performance, for demanding VR/ graphics, nothing comes close to combination of speed and expressive power of abstraction of C++.

[pdimitar]

C++ has many things, but expressive power is not one of them.

But Stockholm syndrome I guess. :P

[oakpond]

C++ has enough expressive power to make you wish it had less.

[pdimitar]

Haha. My point exactly.

Rust?
