| Oct 3, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | Jeremy | yes this is a lot of why most shops have moved to Java or .NET. Garbage collection mitigates the inevitable damage of bad code. | |
| Oct 3, 2011 at 20:12 | comment | added | Ian | @Jeremy, I found when I moved from C++ to C#, there was still as much badly written code (if not more), but at least it was a lot easy to find the part of the program that had a given bug. | |
| Oct 3, 2011 at 19:29 | comment | added | Jeremy | I think some C++ projects have despaired of ever fixing some of their memory leaks due to badly written code. Bad code is going to happen, and when it does it can take up a lot of other people's time as well. | |
