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
There are two types of languages:
JavaScript, especially when using TypeScript, is quite frankly one of the most pleasant development experiences. Yes, there are still footguns here and there due to poor early choices and maintaining decades of backwards compatibility (===, etc), but literally all of them are caught by basic linting.
Go try using Salesforce’s bastardized version of old Java (Apex) if you want to experience a truly unpleasant language.
I have. I like it more than JS as a language.
I just fucking hate the fact that it’s basically useless outside of salesforce; no one gives a fuck if you can code in apex except for people that need you to program some useless shit in salesforce

… I’m a polyglot[1] . I fucking hate working on salesforce, but I prefer languages that work like Apex/Java/C++ over things that work like JS.

Apex doesn’t have namespaces. It doesn’t even let your organize your classes into subfolders. It is an absolute F-Tier language.
Try TypeScript, try React, try Go / Swift / Kotlin, spend more time with C#.
Why do you need namespaces? Apex has a singular purpose on a single platform.
They managed to make a worse version of ColdFusion, truly impressive.
C++ and JS are objectively shit languages from the pool of used languages.
What you quoted is one of the many COPEs Bjarne used in his lifetime. Because unlike JS people. who admit that JS is shit that was originally hastily put together, Bjarne needs the C++ bureaucracy, and the facade of superiority (even if it only lives in his own mind), to keep going because he has nothing else to show for.
