General Programming Megathread v2

[devildogelite]

I got an A for my final grade in my programming class. I'm a programming prodigy guys. Next semester I'm gonna have a blast dealing with assembly, which I will likely never use outside of this class.

You mean stuff that practically any other language has had for ages?

Auto (type inference): Not an issue in dynamically typed languages, already been in most other statically typed languages (notably not Java)
Smart pointers: Not really an issue in languages with GC
Strongly typed enums: Well, that's the point of enums, isn't it?

so what if other languages have had these features for "ages"?

i don't use other languages. i use C/C++ explicitly.

edit:

How dare you not include lua as a language, you disgrace the gaming community.

it's in there already, silly.

You were phrasing them as selling points for C++.
