C++ isn't necesarily a language you want to use for everything.

It's hard to write but in industry its good -because its fast as fuck and it allows doing basically everything that you'd do in low level programming language and thats all what matters.

If these things wouldn't matter, barely anyone would use that language.



TL;DR: It takes more long to write crap in c++, but its worth of it when making large programs.

Even the syntax is a problem. It is one of the hardest syntaxes in the world to parse. So it is probably not easy for human minds either.

And that horrible type system. Answer this simple question, what is the type of this:

int bla[1][2]..[n];

Dunno? Most people dunno. On forums you get the advice to use a vector, so you can avoid the whole issue.

It is not that difficult, btw: int (*)[2]..[n]

But that wasn't the point. Oh well at least it has a type system. Disregard that, I suck cocks.

When I want something faster than scripting languages, I chose:

Dylan, quacks like python, looks like python, so it is python:

Or if you want to stay with a (subset of the) syntax of C++,
D:

Or haskell if you like mathematics and want to prototype something really fast:

All these languages come with a garbage collector and ways to include c code into your project.
