C++

Notes

• C++ is a fucking nightmare. There's 5 ways to do everything, ie because of historical reasons. Endless rules about shit like coercions, etc etc.

• The popularity of C++ was definitely helped by the 'being wrong on the internet' effect. Every beginner programmer immediately thought they could do a better stdlib/macrothing/buildsystem because everything was wrong but you had the illusion YOU could do it right.
