# C++ sucks

## Object oriented
|
||
|
||
So automatically sucks.
|
||
|
||
## Ugly syntax
|
||
|
||
The only non-ugly part of C++ is the headers' name: iostream, cmath,
|
||
ctime, thread, etc. Unlike in C, where they are ugly as shit: stdio.h,
|
||
unistd.h, stdlib.h, pthreads.h...
|
||
|
||
But the rest of the language has the ugliest syntax that I've ever seen:
|
||
|
||
Hello world in C++
|
||
|
||
~~~
|
||
#include <iostream>
|
||
|
||
int main(void)
|
||
{
|
||
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std:endl;
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
Now what the fuck is std:: and why do I have to write << just to print some shit.
|
||
|
||
Note: you can skip the std:: part with ```using namespace std``` but this is a [bad practice](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452721/why-is-using-namespace-std-considered-bad-practice)
|
||
|
||
## Error messages
|
||
|
||
in the following code:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
~~~
|
||
#include <iostream>
|
||
|
||
int main(void)
|
||
{
|
||
std::cout < "Hello world!" < std:endl;
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
You get this error message:
|

## Compatibilty

C++ is "compatible" with C

But this can break most C programs
