There appear to be a lot of good rants against C++. To name a few: * Linus Torvalds : http://lwn.net/Articles/249460/ * C++ Frequently Questioned Answers : http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/ Are there any good passionate pro C++ versus C arguments?

Pretty good rip on a few annoyances of C++ in Zed's fantastic ranting style.

Classic Zed. Nice, haven't heard from him in awhile.

Well, Bjarne Stroustrup has a rant on C++! But it’s not actually pro C++. (It’s also fictional, but a very amusing read.)

Zed is literally the Kimbo Slice of the technical community.

I've seen this pattern a lot when it comes to the order of learning/mastering languages: C, then C++, then back to C
