In my opening post I mentioned that, in the past, I might have called this blog “the case against C++”. In other words, I’m taking issue with developers who unquestioningly use languages and technologies without looking at what’s most appropriate for their application (i.e. the herd mentality). .NET is simply the most recent cause/object of this lemming-like behaviour.
Richard Hale Shaw is running a series of posts looking at moving from C++ to C#. He begins with some good stuff on why C++ is such a bad idea. Well worth a read!
