Is there any reason to use C++ instead of C, Perl, Python, etc.? Boost is the only reason I still use C++. |

Why hasn't a faster, “better” language than C come out? @jalf - I disagree. D's syntax is familiar enough so that a C or C++ programmer can pick it up easily and D can link to existing C libraries so that you don't lose the existing code base (C++ libraries are a whole other matter). |

What parts of your coding standard contribute to quality code? I agree in general but disagree on the "constants are capital" rule. I think this type of rule evolved from misapplying the C "preprocessor macros are all caps" rule (which makes sense, it's a dangerous construct and all caps makes it stand out). I don't think it adds any value to be able to tell whether a given symbol is constant or not and it conflicts with the other rules: "is this a private or public constant?" naming rules are a good thing, but they should take the language's capabilities into account and not just be dragged from one language to another whether they make sense or not. |

What should every programmer know? Not to mention assembly language. |
