Honestly, if you're going to post on a C++ board that "C++ is a waste of time and space", you should try to have something that resembles a rational arguement to back it up.

Your own stupidity does not make C++ a bad language.

wow, what an insightful comment! I'm never going to write another line of C++ due to your intelligent, reasoned argument. Oh, hang on, there wasn't one.
C++ has its faults (many of which it inherited from C). It's not a perfect language and it's not suited to every task (these days I generally prefer Python for most programming tasks), but as a highly efficient real-world systems level language, nothing comes close.
