| Well, at least Python and Ruby are much higher level than C++ (there
| are lists, dictionaries, garbage collector, no pointers, it's dynamic,
| etc.). And also many times slower.
I don't know which C++ you're talking about, but the one that I use on
daily basis and work on has lists (std::list), dictionaries (std::map,
std::multimap, etc.), has many garbage collectors as libraries with
a popular one freely available from Hans Boehm's web site -- industrial
strengh. You don't have to use pointers in C++ if you don't need to.
Many languages claim they don't have pointers, but represent
everything as pointers. You can have everything dynamic in C++ if
that really is hat you want. And, by the way it has a library for
easly interfacing with Python -- check out Boost.Python from Boost.
Let's our ignorance not interfer with reality.
