Is increased programming efficiency in Java or C# a myth?
A big advantage of Java or C# in increasing **productivity of development** is that you're supposed to lose less time with complicated language features, especially those related to memory management. But is it just an impression?

I think that the learning curve for C++ is definitely more steep, but for a proficient C++ programmer, and given a set of coding standards for C++, isn't the difference between Java and C++ fading away?
