- One criticism I've heard is that the time saved in debugging due to the strong
- typing is consumed in optimizing.
-
- Also, I've seen complaints that tenet of information hiding and code reuse is a
- myth with C++ because in order to understand a class you intend to reuse, you
- must study the source code anyway.
-
- Now, presumably adequate documentation could ameliorate this problem, but it's
- certainly not one specific to C++. I shudder to think about the hours I spent
- tracing though smalltalk methods in order to understand their classes.
