I will simply say that I did manage to build CIYAM which is a web application generating platform using C++ and using *no other framework* nor back-end scripting language.
Okay, you managed to use C++ to make a application. Good for you.
So even if it does suck - it has enough going right with it to be able to do that much at least.
Did you know that brainfuck can print the mandlebrot factal in ascii art?
Just because you *can* code in it, does not make it good.
Languages are tools and as such are really only as bad as the hands of those who lack the skill to use them correctly (yes - most people do not have the patience to learn a language as difficult as C++ and I would probably not advise anyone to do so if they don't want to spend many years learning).
Languages does not need to be complicated to be efficient, C++ is way to complicated(and yet i understand it!). Bjarne Stroustrup did it wrong, by taking a good and uncomplicated language(C), and fucked it up(C++). if he had designed it from the bottom, it would have been much better. C and classes does not mix well. but you can still do OOP in C, the whole linux vfs is OO C code.
