I hate c++ style OO programming

[evileconomist]

At the University I was told that C++, classes and OO programming is the way to do it! What a load of crap!
It's based on the faulty assumption that the programmer has a brain, and assumption is the mother of all ****ups.

In the end you get fat bloatware with a jungle of "weak and pointless" objects splattered on a virtual wall.

Guess who's the sorry SOB who gets to "fix" the mess. That's right...ME!

COM style OO programming is much better, COM has a filter to weed out braindead programmers (Granted, the filter's not perfect).

Any idiot can produce a C++ class library with "lots" of classes doing nothing (except passing the information on to some other class), however most idiots never get near COM.

Right now, World War III would be nice, Nuclear weapons kills braindead programmers and wipes out there codebase. Some good programmers would offcourse be killed in the war, but look at it from the brightside, for every good programmer killed you get at least 1000 braindead lamers fried.

So before I get any deeper into COM, which appears to be great, I would like to know if the braindead legions are entering the COM world.

I'm not going into COM and don't intend to. It doesn't have proper polymorphism which is one of the best features of OOP in C++. I grant you, lots of programmers don't know how to use OOP properly in C++, but that's no reason to make statements like this about the rest of us.

Just because I might possibly want to *shock horror* use my code on a different platform doesn't mean I'm brain-dead

Absolutely!

Read some OOP tutorials and you'll learn in notime!

And practice as well, especially in C++, that poor language with bad OOP features...

...andincidentally more people use C++ and CORBA than they do COM

i say c++ is a load of crap
but most of the time what i say is opposite to really is the right answer

c++ classes are cool
i learned virtual inheritence n non virtual inheritence
yummmy stuff
