No, I'm not a troll, just angry. I just started learning
C++, and find it extremely lacking compared to Java.
For example, I had to write my own functions to do something
as simple as a case insensitive string comparison, and a
substring search. Then I found that there are no networking
classes to speak of (except sockets). After I thought about
it, C++ really pales by comparison. Java has a rich set of
networking classes, regular expressions, JSP, micro edition,
security classes, imaging, swing GUI, etc., etc. I can also
build executables for several different platforms with one set
of source code.
One thing that Java cannot handle is promiscuous sockets.
I began writing a port sniffer type program in Java, and
found it has no support for this. Still, I'm somewhat
disappointed with C++, and wish they would add some more
standard functionality like networking or HTTP type classes.
Well, there's my rant, I feel better now. If I'm wrong,
I just don't see it.
