Go is not an easy language

I know the history, but I still think your comment was lumping them together unfairly in this context. With few exceptions, if you are writing `new` or `delete` you are doing C++ wrong in 2021 and that I would call C/C++ :-)

It wasn´t my comment, rather OP's quote.

As for not using new and delete, I kind of agree, then again the only C++ GUI worth using has it over the place.

I rather see all those school kids learning Arduino to use new and delete than malloc() error prone size calculations, or dive into template errors due to the misuse of smart pointers.

Hopefully concepts will save us from cryptic error messages.
