    In the specific use case of kernel programming, maybe. But the Standard Template Library is awesome.

      The STD is maybe the only good thing C++ has over C, and even that is awful compared to other language’s standard libraries.

      I can’t name another good thing C++ has. Maybe templates. C++’s reliance on inheritance for polymorphism is awful (should’ve gone with interfaces/traits).

      Not to mention the mess with all the different types of constructors that must always be implemented.

      It’s just a bunch of bad design choices added on top of an old outdated language.

        Are you high? I was praising the STL, you know, the template library?
