    Smart pointers are really really nice, I do recommend getting used to them (and all other features from c++11 forward).

    You’re recommending him to give up his sanity and/or life?

      I would have said the same thing a few years ago, but after writing C++ professionally for a while I have to grudgingly admit that most of the new features are very useful for writing simpler code.

      A few are still infuriating though, and I still consider the language an abomination. It has too many awful legacy problems that can never be fixed.
