On the package manager part we got conan.io, which falls in the "try to please everyone"-trap instead of making things easier by e.g. enforcing a certain project structure. On the build system (generator) side we got cmake, with an abysmal scripting language and in general a very manual experience.

So if you want to feed a tool with the exact code you also build, you will run into fun (I did, I solved at my work and it's a major pain). Peak performance is important in niches, but e.g. if you use GPGPU C++ is pretty much irrelevant, because it doesn't do the major runtime work anyway. The C++ community is too much stuck in the "let's change the function signature of std::swap for the n-th time" instead of working on fundamental issues of the language ecosystem. While yes, on the pure language level it tries to catch up (and still is many years behind) on the tooling level it has completely lost and I see nothing happening about it. It is also quite obvious, why this is the case. The most fundamental problem of C++ is it's archaic compilation model, which is a tiny level above "stupid string templating". This is pretty much also the reason why it's impossible to write efficient language servers for C++, because context information is implicit, there is no isolation, just always megabytes of code that form the context. The isolation of a (real) module system is lacking to solve this. #include is in general stateful (due to the possibility of #define anywhere), so caching becomes a massive pain as well (it's puzzling that one really came up with such a stupid system). And let me not get started on the separation of headers and implementation files, leading to yet another ceremony-like manual syncing job of function signatures. In C++ you quite often do tasks which should be the compiler job - and this harms productivity. The deployment problems lead to anti-patterns like the "header-only" library. Yes, you just throw it in and can compile, but you pay for it with massive compilation times or manual context shrinking (which would be the job of a module system). Anyway, I got more than a decade of experience of C++ and followed it for quite some time closely. Yet, for a new project from scratch it would be among the last I'd ever recommend using. If you do not happen to need a single-source-crossplattform ui (Qt-based), you are better off with pretty much any other tech stack out there. And just a minor remark: The "c++ is the fastest thing on the planet"-religion is really getting old: benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/fastest/rust-gpp.html I'd easily sacrifice 10% performance to be in an entirely different league productivity-wise.
@@blatrump Looks like you are troubled with project compilation only... I agree to that if you don't know make or visual studio. In my opinion, this is not that important when you compare the ease of programing. I recently had written on algorithmic trading prediction algorithm which uses lots of calculations and finally predict the market. I firstly written it in C# which was too slow, then i ported to c++ which makes it much faster but when i actually apply the pointer concepts and optimized its performance, same algo took 1/40 th time... So, for me there is no comparison between two... I agree on UI side, C++ is not good. I myself end up using C# for UI and c++ at backend... Python have too much coding done in c++ only and i had used that too for AI libs... I done multiple simple home automation project on arduino kits and that shows how C++ can be used for real world automations/robotics. C++ is everywhere now and for me...Again, i never found any problem which can't be solved using C++ with fastest possible solution.
@@sourabhgoel25 Yet again, I cannot agree. I know make (please don't consider this relic a build-system please. It's a lousy batch-executor), Visual studio, scons, buildsys, ninja and whatever. In e.g. Visual Studio, QtCreator, and others even basic code navigation is broken (e.g. correct overload resolution), because here no proper compiler is guiding the code model. Btw, about cmake, did you see its lousy integration in Visual Studio? Same goes for e.g. QtCreator. About topics fully outside of compilation, let's talk about the state of libraries. Guess why many libraries reimplement their own string class? Because the one in the STL is absolutely horrible to use (compared to e.g. .Net, java .etc). Boost tries to be the C++ standard library and if you look at their code, you see more fundamental issues of C++. Incompatible compilers, incompatible ABI, handling of corner cases and compiler bugs everywhere. No utmost basic reflection ability (e.g. having to write jump arrays for enums and keeping them in sync). Horrific syntactical "features", e.g. the "," operator allowed in if conditions, where then only the last argument matters for the validity. Bug-prone defaulting behavior and funny things: - Implicit bool casting - Relyance on nullptr and therefore mixing values with the propery of existance (yes, there is std::optional, and any T can implicitly cast to std::optional which is a bad idea) - Algorithms in stl even though they rely on iterators cannot be chained - Use after std::move is not checked (and really easy to cause. A solution to this exists, with the burrow checker in rust for example) - mutability is the default (yes, the general idea that this is bad is somewhat new, but from a compiler development standpoint having this as default is bad, making optimizers extremely complicated and constantly having to prove whether an expression is in fact constant or not) - The complete confusion in the communtiy about "undefined behavior" and expression based optimization. Undefined behavior is wrong - period. You can only allow unguaranteed order of execution if there are no side effects, which c++ lacks any notion of in function signatures. (which is the case for most languages) - The general idea that backward inference of algorithms is a sane approach for optimization. It is actually incredibly harder to do it in this direction than from a higher level downward - proposing SFINAE as a sane approach to programming is really beyond me. - the lack of something deserving the name macro system (beyond string templating but AST-based), which would kill SFINAE in many cases - no concepts as of yet, leading to unverified, implicit concepts throughout STL (I am aware properities may not be automatically proovable in many cases. I'm talking about the basic "externally implemented interface for a type" which can be verified on compile time, instead of template expansion time) Well, I could go on like this forever. Anyway, with arduino-like platforms you got the single most sane C++-based ecosystems that exist. They prove my point, actually. They got conventions on how to layout libraries, making things mostly "just work". About package mangers again: The lack of it makes for an unstable ecosystem, an unproductive developer experience. If I want to try a library, I'd like to be able to so fast on any platform the language exists. For me, C++-dev is only sane on Linux, because there you at least got the distro support for many fundamental libraries. On Windows, you either got a gazillion installers or you're out of luck. And then you need to teach cmake to find the crap again. It's too damn manual. In fact, its so damn manual that many teams due to this have a very strict policy on when to add dependencies and when not. Such a ecosystem does not scale. It does not promote code reuse but instead island solutions and "reinvent-the-square-wheel" behavior (as can be seen in such a case as string classes). Anyway, if C++ works for you, then fine. It doesn't for me and for many others. Funnily enough we also disagree on a core point: I even consider UI (with Qt) as one of C++ last remaining strengths, but clearly not algorithms and general performance.

How C++ is like teenage sex: 1-It is on everyone's mind all the time. 2-Everyone talks about it all the time. 3-Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it. 4-Almost no one is really doing it. The few who are doing it are: A. Doing it poorly. B. Sure it will be better next time. C. Not practicing it safely.
***** Python is outstanding. So easy and yet so powerful. Python is the most powerful scripting language and it is by far. Plus, don't talk BS, OpenGL is an API, not a language. OpenGL syntax are almost 100% C++. If you ever read the documentation or programmed in it, you should be familiar with that. Don't bash languages you don't use and don't make it sound like you're an expert in something you clearly don't have a clue.
C++ is the engine that runs nearly all of computing. Creating a good useful app is hard, modifying and improving the best programming language of its time is a degree of complexity that I don’t want to ever experience. Thank you sir for your incredible contribution to humanity.
@referral madness 90% of what I currently program is in Python, and I love it, but I firmly believe that any person who is serious about programming needs to learn C++. Like Ibrahim mentioned, it and C pretty much power everything under the hood at some point. Most modern languages use C++ like syntax/compare themselves to C++, so it's easy to pick up new languages if you already know C++. And C++ forces you to learn about things like memory management, scoping, file i/o, pointers, etc that makes you a better programmer, even if you're in a language that USUALLY abstracts that stuff away. It's good stuff to know, and comes in handy for when issues arise. Also, like, there's still tons of jobs out there using C++. My first job was with C++ code, and I still run into every so often. And a side note to Cubei, being an interpreted language is not a bad thing. It's just a thing. Sometimes it's what you need, sometimes it's not. Just gotta know when to use what tool 🤷🏻♀️

@@renovatiovr What purpose ? (Following is only my opinion) C is used for mainly four reasons in my opinion : - it's speed, which is only matched by few "modern" languages (like C++ and Rust) - the simplicity of it's syntax, allowing to dig really quickly into code for a beginner (thus learning time is fairly short for the language itself), allowing him to be productive after very short time (as opposed to rust for example), and also (major point) allowing to easily bind C libraries to other languages ([Java], Rust, Python etc), or even to include C more or less into the language itself (C++) to some extent) - it is (by syntax and generated machine code) really close to assembly language/machine code, being both flexible and permissive, and can include assembly instructions directly into the code, enhancing even more it's strength for "close to hardware" programming. This eases bindings with other languages as well. - finally, it has been and is still used for most of system libraries programming for the three previous reasons and for historical ones as well, it remains the standard for system and "close to hardware" programming. This is staying a standard as most of other languages can allow C library calls.
Bjarne use to be a professor at my university, Texas A&M. Although he was never my professor, it is still nice to know that the creator of the c++ programming language was once teaching in your school.
He is allowed to be forthcoming and smart about C++ as he created the language, clearly intelligent yet humble but you seem to find the smart part a bit intimidating.
Stroustrup's book describing the C++ language is one of the best I've read. The approach is an easy informal style, with language extensions to C supported with code fragments and clear descriptions.
@@deildegast yeah, the good part of c++ is the c-style. Requiring a struct to exist in memory so you can access a function is a pretty dumb idea, and it's the foundation of c++. But the name sounds cool and when all those c programmers retired all the noobs wanted to learn the 'newest tech', saw the title, and then built many of the infrastructures we sometimes find today! But c still works great and if you're looking for hardware features, javascript does them all too. Lets you access structs as hashmaps and functions as strings, run assembly, inline functions, and you're pretty much programming in C but there's lots of vendors, supports, shortcuts, and minimized code.

Stroustrup is the best language engineer and development process guy we've yet had. He laid out a clear set of architectural drivers and their motivations - which were clearly needed - and stuck to it for decades. He let the language naturally evolve over time through the ANSI/ISO processes in the best way that it's ever been done. You won't find anything that made it into the standard that didn't have real working code tested in real situations against many alternatives first. You'll not see a single example of NIH syndrome or pre-mature standardization like you do in every other popular language in existence. Whether you like the language or not - it is the standard for how to design and develop a programming language. If you ever think about designing your own language and don't read back about how and why Stroustrup did it (it's all quite well documented unlike other languages) then you're seriously negligent. The world owes Stroustrup a huge debt even if they never read or write a single line of C++ code.
That's very true, I only had 3 years of Pascal Object (Delphi) experience when I started with C++ a few months ago, and it's really not that complicated.

If you do not happen to need a single-source-crossplattform ui (Qt-based), you are better off with pretty much any other tech stack out there.
And just a minor remark: The "c++ is the fastest thing on the planet"-religion is really getting old:
benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/fastest/rust-gpp.html
I'd easily sacrifice 10% performance to be in an entirely different league productivity-wise.
@@blatrump Looks like you are troubled with project compilation only... I agree to that if you don't know make or visual studio. In my opinion, this is not that important when you compare the ease of programing. I recently had written on algorithmic trading prediction algorithm which uses lots of calculations and finally predict the market. I firstly written it in C# which was too slow, then i ported to c++ which makes it much faster but when i actually apply the pointer concepts and optimized its performance, same algo took 1/40 th time... So, for me there is no comparison between two...
I agree on UI side, C++ is not good. I myself end up using C# for UI and c++ at backend...
Python have too much coding done in c++ only and i had used that too for AI libs...
I done multiple simple home automation project on arduino kits and that shows how C++ can be used for real world automations/robotics.
C++ is everywhere now and for me...Again, i never found any problem which can't be solved using C++ with fastest possible solution.
@@sourabhgoel25 Yet again, I cannot agree.
I know make (please don't consider this relic a build-system please. It's a lousy batch-executor), Visual studio, scons, buildsys, ninja and whatever.
In e.g. Visual Studio, QtCreator, and others even basic code navigation is broken (e.g. correct overload resolution), because here no proper compiler is guiding the code model.
Btw, about cmake, did you see its lousy integration in Visual Studio? Same goes for e.g. QtCreator.
About topics fully outside of compilation, let's talk about the state of libraries. Guess why many libraries reimplement their own string class? Because the one in the STL is absolutely horrible to use (compared to e.g. .Net, java .etc). Boost tries to be the C++ standard library and if you look at their code, you see more fundamental issues of C++. Incompatible compilers, incompatible ABI, handling of corner cases and compiler bugs everywhere.
No utmost basic reflection ability (e.g. having to write jump arrays for enums and keeping them in sync).
Horrific syntactical "features", e.g. the "," operator allowed in if conditions, where then only the last argument matters for the validity.
Bug-prone defaulting behavior and funny things:
- Implicit bool casting
- Relyance on nullptr and therefore mixing values with the propery of existance (yes, there is std::optional, and any T can implicitly cast to std::optional which is a bad idea)
- Algorithms in stl even though they rely on iterators cannot be chained
- Use after std::move is not checked (and really easy to cause. A solution to this exists, with the burrow checker in rust for example)
- mutability is the default (yes, the general idea that this is bad is somewhat new, but from a compiler development standpoint having this as default is bad, making optimizers extremely complicated and constantly having to prove whether an expression is in fact constant or not)
- The complete confusion in the communtiy about "undefined behavior" and expression based optimization. Undefined behavior is wrong - period. You can only allow unguaranteed order of execution if there are no side effects, which c++ lacks any notion of in function signatures. (which is the case for most languages)
- The general idea that backward inference of algorithms is a sane approach for optimization. It is actually incredibly harder to do it in this direction than from a higher level downward
- proposing SFINAE as a sane approach to programming is really beyond me.
- the lack of something deserving the name macro system (beyond string templating but AST-based), which would kill SFINAE in many cases
- no concepts as of yet, leading to unverified, implicit concepts throughout STL (I am aware properities may not be automatically proovable in many cases. I'm talking about the basic "externally implemented interface for a type" which can be verified on compile time, instead of template expansion time)
Well, I could go on like this forever.
Anyway, with arduino-like platforms you got the single most sane C++-based ecosystems that exist. They prove my point, actually. They got conventions on how to layout libraries, making things mostly "just work".
About package mangers again: The lack of it makes for an unstable ecosystem, an unproductive developer experience. If I want to try a library, I'd like to be able to so fast on any platform the language exists. For me, C++-dev is only sane on Linux, because there you at least got the distro support for many fundamental libraries. On Windows, you either got a gazillion installers or you're out of luck. And then you need to teach cmake to find the crap again. It's too damn manual. In fact, its so damn manual that many teams due to this have a very strict policy on when to add dependencies and when not.
Such a ecosystem does not scale. It does not promote code reuse but instead island solutions and "reinvent-the-square-wheel" behavior (as can be seen in such a case as string classes).
Anyway, if C++ works for you, then fine. It doesn't for me and for many others. Funnily enough we also disagree on a core point: I even consider UI (with Qt) as one of C++ last remaining strengths, but clearly not algorithms and general performance.

C++ is the engine that runs nearly all of computing. Creating a good useful app is hard, modifying and improving the best programming language of its time is a degree of complexity that I don’t want to ever experience. Thank you sir for your incredible contribution to humanity.
And nowadays, many schools are teaching people to use a monkey language like Java and pretending it has any form of performance.
@referral madness agree
The complexity of working with the committee is more than most mortals are willing to tolerate.
@referral madness 90% of what I currently program is in Python, and I love it, but I firmly believe that any person who is serious about programming needs to learn C++. Like Ibrahim mentioned, it and C pretty much power everything under the hood at some point. Most modern languages use C++ like syntax/compare themselves to C++, so it's easy to pick up new languages if you already know C++. And C++ forces you to learn about things like memory management, scoping, file i/o, pointers, etc that makes you a better programmer, even if you're in a language that USUALLY abstracts that stuff away. It's good stuff to know, and comes in handy for when issues arise.
Also, like, there's still tons of jobs out there using C++. My first job was with C++ code, and I still run into every so often.

@@felixbertoni C is pretty much the cool grandpa of programming languages at this point
@@cyclonic5206 yup and it is still used... Especially because it's syntax is so simple, that it is easy to learn quickly
@@felixbertoni It is still used because it has its purpose. Just like c++. And it is definitely not for its syntax but for its purpose
@@renovatiovr What purpose ?
(Following is only my opinion)
C is used for mainly four reasons in my opinion :
- it's speed, which is only matched by few "modern" languages (like C++ and Rust)
- the simplicity of it's syntax, allowing to dig really quickly into code for a beginner (thus learning time is fairly short for the language itself), allowing him to be productive after very short time (as opposed to rust for example), and also (major point) allowing to easily bind C libraries to other languages ([Java], Rust, Python etc), or even to include C more or less into the language itself (C++) to some extent)
- it is (by syntax and generated machine code) really close to assembly language/machine code, being both flexible and permissive, and can include assembly instructions directly into the code, enhancing even more it's strength for "close to hardware" programming. This eases bindings with other languages as well.
- finally, it has been and is still used for most of system libraries programming for the three previous reasons and for historical ones as well, it remains the standard for system and "close to hardware" programming. This is staying a standard as most of other languages can allow C library calls.
Bjarne use to be a professor at my university, Texas A&M. Although he was never my professor, it is still nice to know that the creator of the c++ programming language was once teaching in your school.

Stroustrup's book describing the C++ language is one of the best I've read. The approach is an easy informal style, with language extensions to C supported with code fragments and clear descriptions.
you can call C in C++ but you cant call C++ in C
and this very important detail is why people forget that C++ is useless and isn't a superset of C
@@willtheoct"C++ is useless" Yeah, right.
@@deildegast yeah, the good part of c++ is the c-style. Requiring a struct to exist in memory so you can access a function is a pretty dumb idea, and it's the foundation of c++. But the name sounds cool and when all those c programmers retired all the noobs wanted to learn the 'newest tech', saw the title, and then built many of the infrastructures we sometimes find today!
But c still works great and if you're looking for hardware features, javascript does them all too. Lets you access structs as hashmaps and functions as strings, run assembly, inline functions, and you're pretty much programming in C but there's lots of vendors, supports, shortcuts, and minimized code.

There is no "best programming language". It depends on the task.
DaKingZ That doesn't make it the best programming language. There are a lot of things wrong with it. Like how it uses RAII for example. And exceptions are the worst way to handle errors ever, just use an assertion or return an error code and handle it that way.

You heard it folks, inventing a programming language is the key to eternal life
WHAT THE FUCK
Stroustrup is the best language engineer and development process guy we've yet had. He laid out a clear set of architectural drivers and their motivations - which were clearly needed - and stuck to it for decades. He let the language naturally evolve over time through the ANSI/ISO processes in the best way that it's ever been done. You won't find anything that made it into the standard that didn't have real working code tested in real situations against many alternatives first. You'll not see a single example of NIH syndrome or pre-mature standardization like you do in every other popular language in existence.
Whether you like the language or not - it is the standard for how to design and develop a programming language. If you ever think about designing your own language and don't read back about how and why Stroustrup did it (it's all quite well documented unlike other languages) then you're seriously negligent. The world owes Stroustrup a huge debt even if they never read or write a single line of C++ code.
Please don't insult this guy. He is a genius who revolutionized a part in computer science. Please show respect.

The hair on the left side of his head appears to be floating, it's not even touching his ears.
Indentation is always done towards the left in C++.
It's just a minor glitch.
He's just using floats, don't worry.
It's called glasses by the way
Done.
He also looks like a creepy killer guy in hollywood movies, where you would think he did it. The casting wouldnt be problem for that.
I respect his work und the results, no doubt.
