I used to teach C++ courses as a consultant. This kind of thing was part of the gospel I was trying to spread. Educate my follow software developers on the merits of good C++ memory management. It all felt so powerful and cool.

But after some time you realise that nobody is smart enough to keep all of these idioms and arbitrary C++ rules in their head. The only reason I could do it was because I put so much time into preparing my courses. So all of your collegues will keep writing terrible C++ code. And you will be left frustrated that nobody is "doing C++ right".

I guess one could chill down and accept the chaos. I chose to leave C++ behind.
