Why you shouldn’t use C++

Welcome back! As most of you know, C++ is an awesome programming language that’s still one of the largest languages out there. Well, it’s time to be a bit critical, let’s talk about why you shouldn’t use C++ anymore. Now, no matter what I say in this article, this language is one of the most powerful languages out there, but it’s not perfect, so let’s see some of the pitfalls of C++.

Difficult To Learn

One of the biggest complaints about C++ is the difficulty to learn it (compared to others languages), this could be a bit of a hurdle to jump over when learning this language. If you want to learn more about the learning process of this language, check out the link below to learn more about this:

Less Forgiving

Another slight issue with C++ is the syntax, specifically with the errors within your C++ projects. Here’s the thing, a little slight error within your C++ project could completely stop the project from running, with other languages this may not be the case. If you’re someone who tends to have a ton of errors within your project (pretty much everyone), C++ may not be the language for you.

No Garbage Collection

Another problem with C++ is the lack of garbage collection, what is garbage collection? It is a form of automatic memory management, other programming languages support this natively, unfortunately C++ does not support this. Because of this, you will essentially have to learn how to manage the memory of your system manually for your project.
