I don't fully understand the question : why is Windows C++ different than C++ on other operating systems?
C++ is great. I really like the control it gives one over initialization at construction and scoped destruction. It's pretty safe these days too give pointers aren't highly involved (shared_ptr, stl containers instead).
- dm_mongodb 16y agoThe real question to me is : why in the world are y'all still using C? C++ is just as fast if you don't jump the shark.
- barnaby 16y agoI would ask the opposite question. Why are y'all still using C++? C _is_ faster from what I understand, and Java is basically a better, safer replacement for C++ (and equally as fast on big enough applications). Steve Yegge has some great thoughts about how C++ should die, in favor of Java (not that he likes Java either, though he loves the JVM).
