    C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you did not know rope could do that you should have read the manual.

    It’s like a chainsaw with all the bells and whistles but all the safety features removed. Sure you can chop wood with it really fast and probably stone too if you #include diamondteeth library, you can even hammer in nails if you #include hammer. But you are alone responsible for your safety and it’s probably not the best tool for any given job.

      The bells and whistles would need to be pretty loud to be heard over the regular chainsaw operation noises
