[C++] delete considered harmful

The unbridled use of the delete statement has as an immediate consequence that it becomes terribly hard to find a meaningful set of coordinates in which to describe the process progress. ... The delete statement as it stands is just too primitive, it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one's program.

Never use delete, use smart pointers, memory pools, stack allocations. Don't break RAII.

C xor C++ is shit flame war, go!

My take on it is that if you're going to use portable assembly, use C; if you want higher-level features, use a decent programming language that's both immensely more powerful and astonishingly easier to learn and use (i.e. fewer bugs).
