JCL for C++

[EzwRko23]

IMHO, a great part of the usefulness of Java has nothing to do with garbage collection or not having pointers. Rather, it's the availability of the JDK

The fact that garbage collection, simple rules of gluing code together or common naming and packaging convention are used, is one of the reasons you can have easy to use libraries in Java or Scala. It is not easily doable in C++, because every C++ coder knows a different subset of C++ and uses a different convention, thus resulting in a library mess. There is even no agreement, whcich string class you should use (Qt provides a different one, STL a different one, wxWidgets another one...).
