A second dark age for C++

I developed C++ apps on Windows and Linux from 1999 to 2007 before moving over to C#. Unfortunately, I think the author is correct that C++ has moved from one dark age to another. It will simply never receive the love that C# and related technologies get.

Programming is hard. C++ gives you almost total power but with that power comes enough rope to hang yourself and a small village. Having done C# now for eight years I can't imagine having to go back to C++.
