A video arguing C++ is the worst programming language to ever exist (youtu.be)

Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.

I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest

See if you cant agree with something he said

I don't think it was a comedy roast, more like a rant.

The core message of the video (and I do agree with that) is that C++ is incredibly cluttered and that there are dozens of ways to do the same simple thing.

And sure, you don't need to know them all when writing code, but when reading someone else's code you need to know all of the options to understand it.
