"Nearly a quarter-century later, why is C++ still so popular?"

When I design my C++ code I pay attention to ownership and lifetime, and I rarely or never find a need for garbage collection or reference counting/shared_ptr.   Perhaps others optimize their designs for other aspects, and end up with a legitimate need for those things. And perhaps some libraries and frameworks force such designs (for example, I don't do GUIs).   /Jorgen   -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se> O o .
