You can't be serious ! *Every* language has problems. There is no panacea.I happen to think that C++ has a large number of positive things going for it and it's much further along the track of stabilization than any other language with it's capabilities.
So, even though C++ has "niggling yucky details" it is the Right(tm) choice for many applications; and for a large subset, the only suitable language.
Only WUSSes are scared by "niggling yucky details" ... :-)) Noel Yap wrote:

C++ in particularhas so many niggling yucky details that it's a real devil of a language to try to learn to write in effectively. I've read so much bad C++ code (and so little good C++ code) that I can't dare even try to predict how many people might know those details well enough to write good C++ code. In fact I only know of one person for sure who does know the details well enough (but I'm not sure he's such a good programmer overall).I would have to agree completely with you on this one. Noel
