| Nov 9, 2017 at 21:44 | comment | added | JAB | @RobertHarvey The implementation of default methods in interfaces starting with Java 8 means multiple inheritance has become quite easy to use in Java, at that. | |

| Nov 9, 2017 at 18:35 | comment | added | Theodoros Chatzigiannakis | For your own good, pay no attention to the people who think that a language must have all the features of C++ to be considered "real" and "complete". Pay no attention to the people who think that type safety, memory safety and well defined behavior are "training wheels". Correctness is becoming the most important aspect of software in most industries and the people who take pride in not caring about it will soon become irrelevant. | |
| Nov 9, 2017 at 17:19 | comment | added | Mark Rogers | The statement is missing the point in that, even if you can handle it, you don't always want to expose every possible aspect of software development in a language. Sure you may not have a problem reading memory management code, but other developers may not be incredibly excited to maintain that code. Its similar to the concept of encapsulation. Also C# does let you access quite a bit of stuff through, compiler directives, special attributes, and reflection, not that one should use those things, though. | |

| Nov 9, 2017 at 16:36 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | @GoatInTheMachine: You can do multiple inheritance in Java and C#; it just requires a lot of unnecessary plumbing. | |

If you actually want to know the context, i.e. what is on the lost page, the best bet is probably to write the author directly, or maybe try to find the lost page through the wayback machine or similar. | |

| Nov 9, 2017 at 14:07 | comment | added | GoatInTheMachine | I'm not sure exactly, because the article he's quoting from seems to be dead, but it seems like he's saying that Java and C# are missing a number of C++'s more 'dangerous' or controversial features, like multiple inheritance or template metaprogramming. | |
| Nov 9, 2017 at 14:07 | comment | added | Kayaman | I interpreted that as critique against letting the programmer do things like freely allocate and free memory and that sort of "protection", but I'm not sure if that was the point he was trying to make. | |
