Question:
At dec. 5 you said: "C++ is indeed a terrible language but there are features of it that I appreciate." --> what would have been made differently in C++ to make it not terrible?

Too many things to list, but there's just so much in there and so many footguns, that it's easy for people to unintentionally write completely awful code. Yes, you can write nice code using a nice subset of it, but it's hard to tell just looking at code whether it is that, without potentially digging through tons and tons of code. E.g. "sometype foo; foo++; " I have no idea what that does. does it create temporary objects and copy them around? maybe!
