Professionals know what tool to use for a job. Does it take time to become good? Of course, like anything.

Not a question of difficulty or skill. I am saying professionals can't agree what subset to use!

  • They don't have to. The subset depends on the job! That's the beauty and power of C++. That's why we have projects written in it in all domains. From websites to spaceships and Mars rovers.

    • yes, and you will tell me exactly what subset and coding convention "makes sense" for this domain, and you will give your reasoning too. And I will give my arguments, and on and on it goes. teams have broken up over this.

      A well-designed language is one in which there are very few different ways of doing the same thing. And C++ is definitely not that.
