Well, I write Java, C++ and Python code, and I have posted a few thoughts about this on my blog : http://nicolas.lehuen.com/ My two latest problems with coding in C++ are due to the environments : libraries using different string types and the whole problem with the building system. I love the language, but I get a much better leverage through Python and Java due to the quality and ease of use of their built-in and third party libraries. I use C++ only for my core data structure (namely a tuned version of a ternary search tree which I use to build full text indices).
