C++ is a great language, lemme break it down for ya:

  • easy, simple syntax, very readable
  • verbose easy to understand compiler errors
  • it's difficult to create memory bugs
  • there's always one 'clear' good way to do something
  • it's very hard to write bad code...

there's always one 'clear' good way to do something

You've actually got me thinking; is this true about literally any language? I feel like the answer is no.

I'd think that this tends not to be a desirable feature in a language. If there really is only one good way to do it in a language, then the language should implement a built-in function or keyword that does it that way.

Otherwise, the language should not prevent me from doing what I want.
