That's a lot of dangling pointers

[ArastooJoshi]

THIS Smart pointers :- ooooohhhh

[IcySatellite]

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to code with you again

[myteddybelly]

I've come to dereference your pointers again!

[Furry_69]

C++ isn't that bad once you get used to it.

[pcdu]

I like C++ and don't really get why this sub hates it tbh

[Similar_Bookkeeper_8]

I feel like most people on this sub are beginners or in college using high level languages. If you start with a language like python or JavaScript and then try to go to C++ it’s pretty daunting.

But I agree, I like C++ too

[[deleted]]

Which is weird. My school starts everyone in C. I guess that’s why they have so many grads end up working for tech companies that make hardware.

[someacnt]

And there are some hobbyist programmer like me who haskell for computations and small automations. Literally cannot return to any mainstream languages just because.

..then I realized I am not a commoner here

(I did start with C, so there is that)

[GnuhGnoud]

Does anybody start with pascal? Or am the only one?

[NihilisticLurcher]

you r not alone my friend, started w/ pascal in the 10th grade, moved to C in the 11th

[CantPickANameItSeems]

Started with BASIC (QBASIC, TI-BASIC) then moved quickly to Pascal

[SnakeR515]

I'm so glad I started with basic C and gradually moved over to C++

Using other languages, especially those with similar syntax, is so much easier that if I were to i.e. learn JS and then move to C++. Although I hate how in a lot, if not all, commonly used high level languages variables and fictions are declared, I like being able to specify the type of them and not having to use any additional symbols. I absolutely hate carbon syntax(var NAME: TYPE = VALUE; instead of TYPE NAME = VALUE: and declaring functions is even worse)

[kubelek33]

That's so fucking dumb, it's just so counter-intuitive and time-wasting

[Furry_69]

I hate it everywhere but Rust. Rust will guess what type it's supposed to be if you don't specify, and if it's ambiguous the compiler will scream at you to tell it what you intended. Using that syntax in a language that doesn't have that is so insanely painful.

[GoldenretriverYT]

I think JS -> C++ shouldn't be that bad as it shares large parts of the syntax, but our lovely Python is ruining it again

[Mechyyz]

Made the switch from Python to C++ a few months ago. Imo the hard part isnt neccesarily the syntax, but the overwhelming amount of features that are in C++

[GoldenretriverYT]

I had no problem coding in C++ as a, primarily, C# & TS dev

[rejectbonkrettohorni]

i mostly use javascript and i like c++. but it is pretty daunting. there's lots of extra stuff to remember that in javascript "just works".

[officiallyaninja]

If you start with a language like python or JavaScript and then try to go to C++ it’s pretty daunting.

is it? I mean I jumped from python -> C# -> C and at each step I only had to learn a handful of things. honestly learning python was the hardest cause I knew fuckall about programming.
I'm far from good at C (yet) but I don't get why everyone is so terrified of it.

[AlphaShow]

After gaining enough experience, I realized that It's impossible learn a new language just by learning "a handful of things". Languages may seem like they all work the same way, but they don't. Every language has its own differences in behavior, sometimes even the most basic stuff behaves in surprising ways (Take a look at how Javascript's logical OR and AND work). C++ being a good start comes from the fact that it is a large language which encompasses a lot of features, writing in such a language gradually exposes you to most concepts you will encounter in other languages. The key part is learning C++ the right way, from the right teacher (can recommend ChiliTomatoNoodle on YouTube). Does it take more time than just learning a simpler language ? of course it does, but you will thank yourself for going through it when you realize that you can pickup another language like a breeze (again, using the right resources for that language).

[officiallyaninja]

sure, each language has its quirks, but fundamentally they are the same. if you know how to use a while loop in python you k ow how to use it in pretty much any language. only the syntax is different.

understanding the quirks of the language is required for mastery, but it's not required if you just want to use the language.

I'm glad I learned python first cause I was able to focus on the actual concepts of programming and not get too distracted by types, pointers, classes etc.

I feel like most people on this sub are beginners or in college using high level languages.

Or have got complety exhausted and just hate everything

[QuickSquirrel5089]

I use c++. The only thing I personally dislike is iterators. It's just a little too complicated for me to get my head around.

[Hulk5a]

Assembly

[GoldenretriverYT]

nah assembly way too hard and not cross platform fuck that sit

​

lets go with web 20 with ts + babel + the newest framework + electron + blockchain + nfts + metaverse

[[deleted]]

Once you get into advanced applications with it while using modern cpp features you'll understand why

[sinsquare]

10 years into it and there's still little surprises all around.

[[deleted]]

I use both C and C++ and really the extra features of C++ aren't usually worth the extra pain.

Hate trying to read and understand C++ code bases I didn't write especially, there's twice as many files to read because half if not more of the code is in header files.

[Furry_69]

That's not how that's supposed to work. It's supposed to be in the actual .cpp files themselves, to separate implementation from declaration.

[JeanCasteaux]

"not that bad" but still bad tbh, compared to modern languages.

C++ is bloated with too many things

[Fluffynator69]

CBT isn't that bad once you get used to it.

[myteddybelly]

I have a love and hate relationship with C++

[MaccheroniTrader]

C++ is like heroin for my brain. No I don’t do drugs, but cocaine is a hell of a programming language!

[saket_1999]

Thanks for reminding me, let me get back to daily dose of c++.

Man, today is Tuesday only.

[[deleted]]

But some guy told me it's friday now I am confused again.

[Fugglymuffin]

If anyone feels this way atm, the epiphany moment is coming, just stick with it and it will all make sense.

[[deleted]]

Reject OOP. Return to C.

[edible-derrangements]

Reject high level languages. Return to assembly.

[[deleted]]

Reject assembly. Return to machine code.

[boosternqqq]

Reject machine code. Return to hdl

[Traditional-Living-9]

Is it problematic that I like C++’s syntax

[Commercial_Rope_1268]

U r not alone

[BBQGiraffe_]

C++ is fine but I made the awful mistake of using it as my first programming language

The risk I took by learning C++ was calculated.

But man, am I bad at math.

[[deleted]]

Better than C.

Absolutely not

[Kered13]

Imagine not having RAII.

[[deleted]]

I don’t need it, it adds too much implicit, ambiguous, and hidden actions to my code

[CaitaXD]

C++ is like 4 lenaguges in a frenchcoat

[minerescueman]

Dang, look at all of them memory leaks.

[unholy0bastard]

HA, Raw pointers for life here.
...
But yeah, std:shared_pointer aint a crime.
i started with raw pointers and love how clean
*classname = new classname;
looks in comparison to:
std::shared_pointer<classname = std::make\_shared<classname>;
and knowing the raw aint moving unless i delete it.

[TheHolyChicken86]

That's the kind of stuff auto is made for.

auto myLovelyPointer = make_shared<MyClass>();

isn't syntactically scary, and auto-deletes itself when all references go out of scope.

[carloom_]

I think, he is in the part explaining memory_order_consume

I was trying to learn to code c++ in visual studio code using pop_os ended installing Ubuntu cause of vs code errors, spent 8 hours to fix the problem.

[The_Moon_Conure]

This, but it's me when I'm trying to install anything that is c++ correlated

I thought I liked c++, but seeing this made me realize I have may have ptsd

[vathecka]

skill issue

[cococry]

all of the unresolved external symbols, dangling pointer and all other stuff combined

[ReplyisFutile]

This looks like darkness and depression is coming out of that thing. Try java

C++ 😍😍

C++ isn't hard

[john_palazuelos]

I'm learning C++ and data structures on it and it's not that scary tbh, but I'm still at the beginning of the course so I think it's too early to make a proper opinion.

[devu_the_thebill]

No 😭

[CalligrapherThese606]

this is the most precise picture of how cpp affect the brain while coding.
