One of the things I liked of Java (when it was still new) after 10 years of C++ was it's simplicity and cleanliness.
It's funny to read an article about going back to C++.
Don't get me wrong, I love to program in C++ or any other language, but for application programming Java was a great leap of productivity when compared to C++. Finally we had modern things like garbage collection, write once & run anywhere, memory protection, cool runtime introspection and other features we had only seen in languages like Smalltalk.
Also, we no longer had to tangle with C++ templates.
Thank You for the comment. I'm learning C++ in order to get into JVM internals programming, hence this post. I don't plan to leave Java for C++ in general ;) More on that on my actual blog - baremetaldev.com/2021/10/04/one-ye...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
