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.
