what makes it a difficult language ?

@buffnaija. I always try to correct people who claim that C++ is difficult by saying C++ is not difficult it's just involved. Meaning the designer didn't think the language will be used by 'dummies' or as a play thing but that it will live a long time and be used by serious programmers for non-trivial tasks. So, If e no good for your brain quit!!

Yes oh!

Yes it is . . .If only you were literate enough to read.
You should be thanking me instead of tossing rude and ungrateful retorts. It makes it easy to see why you asked the question in the first place.

I think what Baef is trying to say is that it was such a difficult language that this guy had to write a NEW one!

This is a much better link as it explains the reasons why he (Walter Bright) wrote a new language.

If you think you have mastered C++, then I will show you code that you will have a hard time deciphering - it is a powerful language - and having spoken to experts like Alexandrescu and Sutter, trust me even they acknowledge how difficult it is to truly master.
