Forum Newbie

Hi all, I am new to this forum but no stranger to programming in C/C++. I want to comment just when I thot C/C++ is relegated to legacy systems maintenance and viola a recent workplace performance issue force me to re-look into that mindset. C/C++ is still very relevant in current day software development with offspring like CSS HTML JavaScript Java PHP Perl Python etc and the like.

With C++ STL, it make developing in C++ much more easier. With C++ string class, it is almost heaven-sent. Unfortunately due to "ignorance" a lot of developers had moved on to Java as they want ArrayList, HashMap etc ready to use. This group of developers really ought to re-look at C++ STL!

Lastly, anyone can tell me if C++ string is part of the Standard C++ specifications? This string datatype has been yearned and wanted for years since the C programming days. No more strcat, strcpy, memcpy strlen etc. I want a simple str1 + str2 and viola it is there.

Edit:
I just want to add this forum browsing topic and reading articles is super FAST compared to those PHP based forums. Anyone know this forum is using which software ?
