Is C++ a meme?

yes everything is a meme
nobody does anything for any reason other than to be ironic and show off on the internet for meme points

You mean there actually exist people who do things out of sincerity and not because they want 5 minutes of attention?
HOW COULD THIS BE???

>Is it worth learning?
No, it's a garbage language for SJWs, leftist hipsters and people who cannot program in assembly. Avoid if you have any sense of self worth.

Learn rust instead

>>60434030
It's useful to know since so much stuff uses it.

There are better languages but probably no other languages as well supported, and that to me trumps just about any advantage another language could have when used in any position beyond hobby projects.

And unlike Java, the best practices aren't super fucking retarded.

hmmm

>>60435953
Well at least less retarded than Java. I have no idea why you would write this code though unless you're making some sort of library where this sort of thing makes usage syntax nice, and even then you shouldn't be doing it more than once. Never in my life have I written C++ that bad looking except when writing interfaces that are easy to use.

Just give up, this is a java board now

>>60434030
C/C++ is the foundation for most other programming languages, and it's also still widely used today. Only problem is that it's fallen to the wayside now that most programming is going into web and mobile development which rely more on Java.

>>60434030
>But is it a meme?
No. It remains a very widely used language that is gaining popularity because of IoT and will probably gain further popularity with WebAssembly. If nothing else there will be C++ code requiring maintenance for the rest of your working life.

>Is it even worth learning?
As always, it depends what you want to do. There are more efficient ways to get a job if that's what you mean.

>>60434030
c++ is many things but it's not a meme

>>60435649
C++ is, on the surface, one of the most boring languages to those who aren't deep enough to differentiate between languages to begin with. Whereas C has the hyper autistic appeal, Python/Go/Ruby have the new appeal, C++ sits somewhere in relative obscurity.

It's literally the least hipster SJW language there is.

>>60434030
c++ is the perfect choice if you want performance and abstraction in one language.
its widely used in systems programming and science and for performance critical applications and for game engines. it also keeps constantly evolving, so be sure to check out the newest versions of c++.

If you want to learn it, do. If you don't want to learn it, don't. Is this really so fucking hard for you mongoloids?

>>60436597
This. I've spent the last four years in a computer science course, even the better students often don't know anything beyond Python and Java. To them C languages are something they were forced to do one year and never really "got".
If you want leftist languages, go to Javascript/Python/Ruby where you get to make things that look pretty and you don't need to think about how to arrange your struct members for optimal packing.

>>60434686
Sweet meme, bro

>>60434030
Computer programming is always worth learning regardless of the language. The question is what you want to do with it. If you want a job, i'd suggest Java since there's always enterprise shitshows needing people to grunt out Java. If you want to develop apps for mobile devices then you need objective c or swift.

Hmm no java and yet java is the biggest platform for mobile apps
