Why do people use

/prog/ramming languages other than C, LISP, and PERL for anything?

Personally, I find if quite denigrating to the craft of /prog/ramming.

that's the problem here: C++ is good when it's used as a more convenient way of writing C (although the fact that struct isn't acutally a struct is pissing me off) or if you want simple OOP. more complex OOP ends up looking like crap and if you try to use generic programming, template syntax will make you cry.
