I could not live without the Standard Template Library.

Mostly because core C++ doesn't have something like std::string
or vector. If I need to write a template (beside using STL)
I know there is something wrong with the class hierarchy. It's
like using cast, you know it's a workaround to a design error.

String could very well be a simple class, but how do you create a good 
vector without templates? Do you suggest to go back to only have the 
"Object-based" polymorphic array? Even java failed miserably on that point, 
if you recall the hype raving that templates are not good and would never 
make it into a cool language of theirs.  Finally generics were incorporated 
around 1.5 -- mainly to cover the mass problems with collections. :-)

The most ubiquitous problem with class hierarchy is thet you don't need one 
in the first place.
Sure, having hierarchy is great for some particular cases, I both used and 
wrote such, but it is in minority by far.

> It's like using cast, you know it's a workaround to a design error.

I don't see any likeness. Hierarchy is good for runtime polymorphism, while 
templates cover the common case where the type is fixed at compile time.

Why would anyone extend the base language to incorporate something which 
is easily implemented (and, better yet, extendable) through other basic

Do you know how I can tell you aren't a good programmer?

I'm the first person in the world who wrote a roguelike with zero
bugs.
A thing like that didn't even exist before I made that possible.
I'm not good, I'm the best.

Why do you believe that using std::string hinders "interoperability 
amongst programmers"?

  What happens when the STL is not enough? There are myriads of different
data containers out there, and the STL only offers about 5 of them.

  Why is it a design error to make your libraries generic and reusable?
That sounds to me like the exact opposite.

Maybe for you. OTOH, if performance matters, templates are essential.
And if performance doesn't matter, higher-level languages offer the OOP
features with less hassle. IOW, if you don't need templates, you probably
don't need C++ either.

I want to emphasize this. Templates are nice for code reuse, but
several posters ignored IMHO the most important aspect of their
utility. Templates allow generic code and code reuse without runtime
overhead. For too many people, and for some people with legitimate
concerns, there is almost a knee-jerk fear of runtime overhead, and
thus they would rather roll their own, every time, instead of use a
standard library or well tested, well optimized, library solution,
because of the overhead that using a non-template library would
impose.

Take C's sort. The comparator function is a function pointer, and the
last I heard is that most compilers simply will not expand that
inline, as opposed to C++ various sort functions which can be expanded
inline.

That, as ever, depends on what you are doing.

No, they don't.  They may have to if they are supporting legacy code 
that uses every feature under the sun (which tends to be written by 
novices keen to use them!).  For new projects, they can choose a subset 
they are happy with.

The complexity of any given problem is constant.  Whether that 
complexity is hidden in a language or exposed user code is a choice. 
Most of the new features will remove complexity from user code.

Not really. The idioms have evolved for very good reasons. Not knowing 
how to write exception-safe code, for example, is indeed to not know how 
to program in C++, for writing unreliable software is not really doing 
much of anything but playing.

Two things (there surely are more, and will be more, but just off the top 
of my head) that I appreciate from the new features and have helped me 
are:

1. 'auto': I now have for_each, yay!
2. That namespace-within-a-class-hierarchy-thing. Yay! No more virtual 
derivation to get around the diamond inheritance problem.

Market share? The png's title says "Community index".

  You forget that you can write your iPhone programs in Objective C++,
which means that you can write most of it in C++ and only what you must
in C (ie. those parts which need to interact with the Cocoa Touch 
library). You can use full-fledged pure C++ libraries in your program.
(And in fact, if your program is OpenGL ES based rather than Cocoa Touch
based, you can skip writing any Objective C almost completely.)

If you take the time to learn how google trends works[1] you will realize 
that it only measures google search queries and the frequency that the 
topic is covered in google news stories.  So, knowing that, when you run 
some tests you quickly find out that the results are meaningless in terms 
of any attempt to evaluate market share[2].

I would have assumed that we both knew:

1- Such measures are less than reliable. Specifically, to take a quote
from that link "No. Which programming language implementations have
the fastest benchmark programs?".

2- I did not make any claim that programs written in C++ are faster
than programs written in C. I made the claim that in C++ you can have
reusable code, such as containers, without overhead, and you cannot in
C (short of evil preprocessor hackery).

That is an interesting proposition. However, I want to be clear that
in this thread I have not made any sort of claim that programming in C+
+ is faster, better, results in faster code, in better code, or
whatever.

PS: I may hold those beliefs, but I haven't made those claims in this
thread. :)
