Drawbacks of C++

Comparing C++ with other programming languages wouldn't be fair without mentioning some of its drawbacks. As mentioned earlier, C++ has more concepts to learn, and is therefore harder to use correctly and to its full potential. However, if a programmer can master C++, the higher complexity turns into an advantage and the code base becomes more robust and performs better.

There are, nonetheless, some shortcomings of C++, which are simply just shortcomings. The most severe of those shortcomings are long compilation times, the reliance on the manual handling of forward declarations, header/source files, and the complexity of importing libraries.

This is mainly a result of C++ relying on an outdated import system where imported ...
