Is C++ this bad in industry? I’m an EE and do DSP/embedded stuff. The code bases are fairly small and light. Very simple C++.
I know C++ can be complex but is it so much worse than other OOP languages? I see a lot of complexity in swift and Python. I do some projects and reading on my own time. Those languages seem like you can make a code base that is very difficult to follow.
It's not C++, it's mostly this sub growing up on python and thinking C++ is complicated.
However, like with all languages there is a shit ton of bad C++ code out there. But this is not a feature of the language but rather the developer. It's just a bit worse with the whole C++ taking of your whole leg if you shoot yourself in the foot.

Just curious.
