C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. (Bjarne Stroustrup)

Im not a coder but i get that one :D :D

Haha, there are a few pretty funny ones in there.. I personally don't see why everyone hates C++ though. It is by far the most reliable and powerful language, when debugged sufficiently, for making games.

Definately not for the non-geeks ;)

let's put it like this: memory management can drive you nuts. power demands it's tribute.

Unix and C are the ultimate computer viruses. (Richard P Gabriel)... ph34r us... :lol:

True, there are plenty opportunities to make a mistake when you store values on the heap or wherever the hell they go when you use pointers. I have gotten used to it though. Well, mostly.

On the other hand, I haven't really tried any other language so I may just like C++ because I don't have another language to compare it to.

Pointers are old classes or classes with structures are the best way to go ;) although it is fun to play with pointers when you wanna screw something up lol :D

Reading this was a rocky rollercoaster ride

On the one hand, I hate C++ and Java and Pascal and etc.
On the other hand, I like C

:S

the reason why i made my own language... there i know what i have no more to worry about (although other things, but less stressy).

but c/c++ is still the workhorse for the real heavy things. but if you find once time try out Smalltalk. this language is really fun. and if you want to be a bit masochistic try out once Scheme ^_^.

lol, I tried to build my own language and a converter that converts it between itself and C++. It failed. The language ended up just as pointless and confusing. Might as well just learn C++ in the first instance ^_^

hehe... translators are often a tad more difficult than pure languages as especially debugging is hell.
