It seems to me that Pike and gang are mainly coming from a C background. They loathe C++ and Java. Take a look at the SPLASH talk linked in another comment here, and see how the "pain points" mentioned either apply mainly to C and C++ (dependency issues, build times in the case of the latter), or are independent of the language in general (like poor documentation). Then at least 4 sections on that page are just related to dependencies and build times (about 1/3rd of the entire article). No one is denying that C and C++ have many problems. At the same time though, many of those problems have been solved in other languages (both older and newer than C++). |
