I knew this would get blown out of proportion, but I posted nevertheless. I was saying that Java and C++ share flaws (some and perhaps all of which could be perceived as qualities by someone) and that these common flaws are often the reason why people do not like C++ or Java. This is speaking from experience, not statistical evidence. In no way was I saying that both languages were the same or aligned at particular levels of complexity/simplicity. Both have flaws and qualities the other does not. Whether or not C++ has "a ton of flaws" not found in Java or not, this was not my subject of discussion. I was not speaking in quantitative terms as I was referring purely to those flaws which are common to both and coming to a conclusion based on experience with people who do not like C++ or Java.Arich Chanachai wrote:But then again, if you don't like C++, you probably won't like Java.Theycan be very different languages, but in my experience, the reasonswhyone does not like C++ is usually due to a quality/flaw that can alsobefound in Java.Oh, brother.The Zen of Python says that "simple is better than complex" and "complex is better than complicated". Java does pretty well here. C++ didn't even get "complicated is better than convoluted" right. There's are a ton of flaws in C++ not found in Java. - Arich P.S. All in good fun but I am not your brother. ;-) |
