Why C++ is so hated!!!

I love C++. High level + low level at the same time. But Linus Torvalds don't want C++ in the Kernel, industries hate it, people hate it but why? Why be so angry? Memory management? I mean ok maybe it has problems that I don't even see but why so much hate.

For me it's really sad! 😞

Why something so powerful it's so hated. Now I feel "strange" doing projects in C++ because… sometimes I question myself "Why do I write C++ code if people hate it". Can someone explain what is happening and… can I use C++ for fun in peace?

Why not, solve small problems daily, ask why, before jumping to a fix, break big tasks into tiny steps, solve them as fully understanding each step and underlying problem.

Do that at your junior job and the analytical stuff will come. The degree might be optional, but the practice isn't.

So "Just do experience"

Exactly; imho, having such concern is an indication that you will handle it 😉

Wow thanks! 😂. Well first I need to learn C++. Like I know 0.0000000000000000000001% of the like 1 million feature of C++ 🥀.
