大学2年级1991年从Turbo Pascal起步，编了若干小软件，如小防毒软件和小中文编辑器，还是满喜欢编程的。直到后来C++的出现，它的WIN32,类库，让我这个懒惰的人失去了对电脑的兴趣。Visual C++的出现缓解了一些问题。但这个语言的本质问题却永远无法解决：它太复杂了。对一个头脑简单又热爱电脑的人，比如我，学习它简直太痛苦了。我相信一个计算机界的真理：简单的必定会战胜复杂的。现在这个社会象我这中等智力的懒人太多，大家没工夫学它个3年5载成为专家。除非一些jerk编操作系统，编译器，数据库需要用到C++的强大功能，对于一般的business requirement, commercial web application, who cares什么编程语言。前些年visual basic就挺好。后来java也不错。直到什么j2ee，把这个好冬冬又复杂化了。这不是缺心眼儿嘛 - 等着微软推出一个简单易上手的对等产品。我就烦那些难学的玩意，这东西一旦复杂了，就一定有什么东西从骨子里不对 - 也一定注定了早晚被人们抛弃，就象C++。

If you lived long enough in the software world, as I did, you would remember, once upon a time, before JAVA, NOTHING would even came close to it. It was the diamond on the crown of the king. C++ was designed as a general purpose language, efficient and portable as C, with OO in its heart. Today, no sensible person would ever deem C++ as a "general" purpose language, but rather it has retreated to be a system and embedded programming language. OOP is all about hiding low level details. If the strengths of C++ is in the hardware access then maybe it's not so useful for OO programming? And the truth is, other languages such as JAVA, C#, and even PHP, have long replaced C++ in the business application world. Being a C++ programmer may be a previlige to some poeple, apparently it has lost its attraction to many employers.

The truth is, C++ has never failed. It even holds its position today. Only people who failed to learn C++ at that time could have failed. -youbet(寻常巷陌); 2010-1-5 (#5783450@0)

and c++ could be used for those who care. But it is no longer a "general" purpose language as it was 10+ years ago. it is declining in its popularity. simple fact, just search c++ and java as a key word on monster and see how many hits.

Please search "Window" and "Mac" keyword on monster, see how many hits. As u said, means mac is no longer a "general" platform to be developer???? -leonhano(haozi); 2010-1-29 {279} (#5846359@0)
U just focus all things u want to know, ignore things u don't want. Language is language, no one is best. Take some courses like Data structure & algorithms, Software Engineering & Design pattern, etc, u will learn more and get a new thinking in computer software design field.

Mac only counts for about 10% market share for end user desktops. And on server market, Mac server has a even smaller market share.... from this stand point, Mac is not really a general platform.... -webbwebb(rr_rolia); 2010-3-31 (#5981132@0)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛ZT..................." will C++ still be around 5 years from now? Of course it will. There is a pretty good code base out there using it and there are still those that cling to it like limpets.

If you have something to prove, C++ provides a lot of pointless opportunities. On the other hand those who jumped ship from C to C++ are increasingly jumping from C++ to Java or C# (just look up some of the old C++ gurus and see what their blogs are about now) and those who still haven’t dumped C aren’t likely to suddenly get a passion for object oriented design.

There is also the matter of the new C++ standard coming up. It will add a lot of very cool features to the language and it will include a lot of what is now the boost library as part of the standard distribution.

Will this re-invigorate the language? Well it is now 2008 and only a few compilers have come close to implementing the last version of C++. It could very well take another 10 for any to get on top of the new one and when they do, it will still have all the historical syntactical baggage I love to hate.

C++ will continue be a useful skill to have, particularly as the existing code base becomes expensive to maintain, but I’d be very careful of basing a career on it"更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
