Anti C++ sentiment?

My boss forced me to do an ASP.NET, ADO.NET, C-sharp application.

And guess what, c sharp is good.  Its the next step beyond java.

I am very glad Microsoft released it as a standard, and already we are seeing .NET ports from Borland, and the CLI being ported to various platforms.  Microsoft did the first port, to BSD.

Microsoft's a huge company and they buy up talent.  The guy behind .NET was a real legend and compiler guru.

.NET made programming a web based, database backend application very very logical, and somewhat easy.

I'm still a sucker for a super easy scripting language...like TCL...but this .NET stuff is cool.

And yes, you can program a 3d game in it too.

GAWWWD help you if you can't program a 3d game around here :-))

I once did a series of articles on programming in C for the Atari ST, and this was years after Atari was dead....I did it for fun.

The articles were published in user group magazines, and it was really neat...of course all the programming guru's who you never hear from otherwise, came out of the woodwork to 'correct' me constantly....and they were usually wrong.

Lawd knows, I couldn't have been wrong  :-P
but anyway, I betcha there is a bunch of interest in learning to program the next Amiga.

I have no intention of doing any programming in C++,
though, I guess I have to admit, finally that I am against C++

C was great, cause it was a very simple to use language....C++ is a good extension to C, but its not simple and time has changed and their are now the next level beyond C++ (java and c sharp)

That being the case, that C++ has never been simple, and it is no longer the 'best' (in my opinion java and c sharp DO lots of stuff automatically, that was tedious in c++)....then why use C++

The tool I use, is either 'the easiest' if I need that...or 'the best' if I need that.

I would use C++ now, only if I had been using it for years, and it was just comfortable to use.....

then again, on the new Amiga, whats the choices.....not a whole heck of a lot, GCC it is, then
