  1. C++ is ugly! by ObviousGuy · · Score: 1

    I work in it all the time so maybe I just don't notice, but when reading other people's C++ code, it becomes painfully obvious that it is way too complicated and difficult to read.

    Are there any other compiled Object Oriented Hybrid languages out there with better syntax?

      Anything that has syntax designed for C compatibility is going to be hideous as far as syntax is concerned. So the short answer is, most other languages have cleaner syntax. The compatibility of C++ makes it very useful, and has advantages that should not be dismissed lightly, but it also is an obstruction to "clean" design.

      Other compiled OO languages ? Yes, it never hurts to learn more. Take a look at Eiffel, and/or or OCaml (this is a hybrid language, actually more functional than OO)

  2. Another article on K-Parts by SocialWorm · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was wondering if K-Parts was the KDE answer to GNOME's bonobo, so I decided to do a google search. I found an article, also on the IBM site (but which does not require registration), which mentions CORBA, so I assume it is. The "advantages vs. disadvantages" section seems very interesting.

      KParts far preceded Bonobo. There is no Corba in KDE. It uses DCOP over ICE. There is also an XML-RPC gateway.

    Same for Gnome

  4. Objective-C by Trevelyan · · Score: 1

    I've not tried it yet to comment wether it looks better. Its C with the OO features of SmallTalk thrown, which makes it sound appealing to me, in the sense its C and has credibile OO features.
