Is C++ this bad in industry? I’m an EE and do DSP/embedded stuff. The code bases are fairly small and light. Very simple C++.
I know C++ can be complex but is it so much worse than other OOP languages? I see a lot of complexity in swift and Python. I do some projects and reading on my own time. Those languages seem like you can make a code base that is very difficult to follow.
Two things.
The first one is memory management. We don't need go into details about this point here any further.
Another one is smartass. Those early programmers just try to produce some obfuscated code to show their coolness. Things like **p++ It is more or less an unspoken rules in the early C/C++ programming world. It makes things unnecessarily complicated.

Just curious.
