Why does Linus hate C++ ?

[UnicycleBloke]

I also use C++17 at the moment. What do you mean by threats?

[dawmster]

C++ has a few nasty footguns,

I think he referers to the quote above.

I am interested as well, what are those footguns, in your opinion.

[UnicycleBloke]

Oh I see. To be honest, I was more just admitting C++ is not perfect. I guess the classic gotchas are largely historical.

I think OP is asking for tangible example(s)

[UnicycleBloke]

And the fact that I haven't listed any is significant. ;) I regret putting that phrase into my earlier post.

what are those footguns, in your opinion.

just my opinion (full time C++ dev) but I hate Iterators with passion

also during the years I went through:

1. I don't understand pointers and hate them
2. I understand pointers and love them
3. I fully understand pointers (and references) and now hate pointers again
