Re:Five Popular Myths about C++: Postscript
on Tuesday December 30, 2014 @02:51PM (#8816347)
Manual memory in C++ is so cumbersome that is efectively imposible to develop programs with no memory leak bugs in real life.
Anyway, the more important fact about C++ is that it is a language complicated to no end, with an insanely bad design on purpose, so a couple of guys can sell consulting services, write books, and the like.
The year 2015 is about to come, let's just stop filling the world with such primitive and ugly ugly code. We have saner alternatives to C++ since ever.

Indeed, Emacs rocks for LaTeX.
It would rock harder is someone(tm) implemented a visual version of LaTeX, for small quick documents and for newbie accessibility.

Wayland provides something similar to xcb, so guile-wayland can be written in the same way that guile-xcb is.

Sawfish rocks, but is implemented in c and scripted through lisp (in a dialect called "Rep").
Guile-wm is lisp all the way down, is implemented with Guile-xcb, a X client written completely in Guile.
