Regarding the power and the popularity: Being the language that was used to develop both windows and Linux operating systems is a proof that supports c\c++ as the best middle level languages not the contrary. I think this is because accidentally c++ was the first most complete in logic language that has been invented, since then, even now.So most of people learned it and wrote their programs with it. That is why it became the most popular. The fact that most of people use it and recommend it for their friends because they don't know except it, i think this is false, especially for the professional programmers who do this for living. You will find most of them master more than 3 or 4 languages. Most of the people still use it because it is still valid for most of purposes. You can code for any operating system, any new device. For example if I'm using vb can i code programs for i pad??!! So i agree with you for coding for general purposes you or we can chose any other easier language, this is correct, and i support, but regarding serious issues and for those who want to program for many purposes being real professionals you will find yourself forced to chose c++. Regarding load and other technical issues: Sorry, the reasons you mentioned for considering C++ not the optimal language, for example the arrange of header files, i think it returns to your team bad choices not to the language itself. The lines of code are compiled the order you put. Even if we agree and i agree that there is nothing optimal, especially at the field of science, and we are expecting the better. Tell me what is the alternative you propose to get rid of C++. I accept all alternatives. Is there anybody find something makes his life easier and not following it. I think he is ........ hahaha. You my dear mentioned the problem without mentioning the solution. Propose a solution and let us discus. The fact is , i think , it is difficult and expensive to write a new language like that one you and we dream of. Even if some company did so, and i think some did especially Microsoft, they wouldn't release it for commercial use easily like that. That would be one of the company precious treasures, and will be kept as a secret. No one these days invent something makes his work easily and let it go in public like that. Regarding the market side: Microsoft is trying to kill C++ to control the market when they make all visual studio equal regarding linking and compiling but i thing they wouldn't succeed, because they live on t
