Comment Re:C++ admits it is too complex with "auto" for ty (Score 2) 435
"auto" is there to reduce the typing -- that is all. Instead of writing MyContainer::const_iterator::value_type x =
It is a convenience, like a "for loop" with a built-in iterator is there because requiring the programmer to write the boiler-plate required for a "for loop" with "do/while" is stupid. Your headline might as well read "C admits it is too complex with for() loop construct."
And C# is not collapsing under its own weight. Any programmer, no matter what language they program in, that is not using a modern, intelligent IDE is wasting time and money -- they are a hack (in the worst sense of the word) and not a professional.
