By the way, I wrote this, not Rolf.
What I meant is that in C++ I need to care about memory ALL THE TIME (am I
leaking memory ? can I safely dispose this object ?), while in Java I only
have to care about memory usage (which I also have to care about in C++).
And I LOVE the fact that in Java, the compiler tells me what exceptions I
should care about, because I LOVE exceptions.
And I also LOVE C++ templates, because they let you fix 50 bugs at once (if
you have 50 instanciations), and let you write clean code with no suspect
cast operators.
And I also LOVE C++ operators even if don't use them too much, because I
LOVE to write:
obja = objb;
And
if ( obja == objb)
do something;
I don't see how the above could be confusing to anyone.
C++ has evolved since 1996 (stronger typing, explicit keyword...), and one
should make his opinion on the current state of the language and tools, not
what they were at that time.
