t is at least 20 years since last time I coded in C++. Maybe something changed ...
Yeah, quite a lot. I respectfully submit that you learn modern C++ before commenting — unless you, for example, think comments about life in Italy under Mussolini's rule are still valid. Maybe something has changed in Italy since 1943?
I graduated in 1990 in Electrical Engineering and since then I have been in university, doing research in the field of DSP. To me programming is more a tool than a job.
Well, it was pretty clear that my remarks were about the old version.
Although I have some difficulties to imagine how many of the defects I remember can be solved in new releases. Usually languages add features with time and drawbacks due to some issues in the original design (in this case, inheritance from C, obscure template syntax, automatic casting, type system C-like, ...) are difficult to solve because of the need of back compatibility.
Anyway, now I am curious and maybe I'll give a look to the new version, although I do not anticipate I will move to it soon.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
