yeah. what interesting aspects it has are overshadowed by what it lacks, the culture around it, and the company which tries to rule over it.

I actually think, in a vacuum, Java the language is a great response to C++. But agree much of SW engineering doctrine around it is bonkers.

as noted, it has some interesting aspects, but also some pointless limitations; C# improved on some of this, but added some new issues.

then there are API design issues, like special-case classes for each file-access pattern, vs a single File class which does all file IO, ...

though, I am not a huge fan of C++ either per-se; some good engineering, but lots of cruft and complexity; and its std library went berserk.
-
I am not a fan of C++ at all. Take the subtle UB issues C has, and then compound that with a *ton* of new semantics nobody understands.

Like I don't see how anyone could possibly write C++ that tries to be "correct in the sense of standards-conformance and safety"

...btw i shamelessly ripped that from the musl homepage.
