Stroustrup: Why the 35-year-old C++ still dominates 'real' dev
-
A question come to mind, what is a 'real' dev? Why should I care anyhow?! ;P :-D "Real" developers love C++? good for them! ;P
My programming get away... The Blog... DirectX for WinRT/C# since 2013! Taking over the world since 1371!

The new C++ standard instead of simplifying the language, has complicated the language with hard-to-remember rules for new features like auto type inference. All these people in C++ committee, none of them has read research/books on human brain? Human brains can at best juggle with 3 - 4 things at the same time: When developers does coding, he/she have to deal with the specs, the APIs/libraries and the language. With a complicated language, it is easy to make mistakes with so many rules to remember. This shows that computer languages are better designed with a few people than by consensus.

This is why my main languages are C and C#. I missed C++ out, every bit of code I've seen just looks damn scary. I'm sure it's not that bad when you use the language, but still.
