Oh, brother.
The Zen of Python says that "simple is better than complex" and
"complex is better than complicated". Java does pretty well here. C++
didn't even get "complicated is better than convoluted" right. There's
are a ton of flaws in C++ not found in Java.

I knew this would get blown out of proportion, but I posted
nevertheless. I was saying that Java and C++ share flaws (some and
perhaps all of which could be perceived as qualities by someone) and
that these common flaws are often the reason why people do not like C++
or Java. This is speaking from experience, not statistical evidence.
In no way was I saying that both languages were the same or aligned at
particular levels of complexity/simplicity. Both have flaws and
qualities the other does not. Whether or not C++ has "a ton of flaws"
not found in Java or not, this was not my subject of discussion. I was
not speaking in quantitative terms as I was referring purely to those
flaws which are common to both and coming to a conclusion based on
experience with people who do not like C++ or Java.<br>
