“Real programmers don’t use x” - said by every proud programmer that don’t want to learn new concepts since the beginning of time.


Real C++ programmers use the hell out of features added because of demonstrated industrial need. Many of them were copied from ML, others Haskell entirely lacks. Haskell has some features C++ doesn't need, that would just make programs harder to understand without actually making the language more powerful.


Would be helpful if you gave some examples!


Unfortunately, without concrete examples it's hard to grasp what features you really mean.
