Oh, I agree.  Its not the language&#x27;s fault.  You can write a good or bad program in any language.  No language can save you on its own.  But, as the expression goes: some programming languages give you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot, other, enough rope to blow off the whole leg.  I have done C++ for 14 years.  It <i>can</i> be great and fast if you are careful.
