About a week ago I posted a request for information
about C++. Specifically, I wish to know what people's
experiences with the language have been like. To date,
I have received two responses. This is not quite what I
was hoping for. For this reason, I am posting the request
again, in the hope that it will shake some more people
out of the woodwork. I need to know the following:
o What made you decide to develop in C++?
o What features of C++ are most useful?
o What features (or bugs) of C++ are most troublesome?
o Does it take more or less time to develop applications?
o Do you spend more or less time maintaining the software?
o Does it take more or less time to bring new developers up to speed?
o Is the lack of support from AT&T a serious drawback?
o Will you continue to use C++?
o Would you recommend the language to other developers?
Please, PLEASE, *PLEASE* answer these questions if you
can. Send responses to me by e-mail, and I will be most happy
to summarize for the net.
[ aside to Bjarne Stroustrup: I realize that you will
avoid answering this request for fear of being labelled
a self-advertiser, but if you know of any sites that
might be persuaded to provide me with some useful
information, I would be most appreciative ]
