C'mon, learn why not to use C++... no standard thread libs, no standard GUI, even no standard way to clear the console/terminal. We got differences among versions of the header files (aka, libraries) for a compiler to another, undefined behaviour all around, in particular those "works here but not there". Go and read a bit of C++0x. Now think about this... I could write in my own language, the only thing I need to do is to give the compiler freely online... c'mon guys learn to write in your own language.
Tools are mean to use them, why all the innovation in computing, software and system engineering and informatics, if you are going to use a language of the past century. I have to recognise that C++ may come in handy, I have had the situation where I had to write in C++ in order to save memory because the software was meant to run in a chip (in fact I wrote in pure C), but otherwise why not use a modern language? or for that matter, why not to use an experimental language? [Warning! the following paragraph may be offensive, proceed with caution] I know, I know... you wouldn't even need to clear the console for GCJ, but in that order of ideas, you could also write in assembler... no! better yet! write your programs with a hand magneto over a recording tape, and run it in an external casette for the comodore 64 (oops, comodore 64 have BASIC). You could rewrite that long integers lib every round! Do not feel superior by known C++. 2010/11/8 Leopoldo Taravilse <[email protected]> > It would be great to use TopCoder Arena! > > Come on guys!
