I mean that they are poorly designed. And year regular languages are just as badly designed. I'd say c++ is just as bad as javascript tbh.
Take a look at Rust. It's what I'd call an exceptionally well defined language.
C++ is just an exceptionally badly designed language.
The weakness of C++ is that it attempted to be backwards compatible with C. It’s like it’s trying to be two programming languages at once.
And then it became like three languages at once when smart pointers became the norm. It makes it very difficult and confusing to learn.
