Any other good blog posts / social media comments / pointers I

This one came to mind:

This is pretty bad promotion for Haskell.
The Author of this post apparently do not know C++ well enough or
just ignore this knowledge.
Me as a C++ developer who likes Haskell (and D) after reading
this I like C++ a bit more and Haskell a bit less.
It’s a common but false belief that reference counting (using
shared pointers in particular) is better than garbage
collection.
And then he pointed to a "A Unified Theory of Garbage Collection"
paper where "reference counting" as a strategy (method) for a
Garbage Collection will be disused.
This is NOT the same as std::shared_ptr do !
So if some one really hates D then he can write post like this
about C++ and D.
