Garbage collection is fine, but what about objects that encapsulate files, network connections, window handles, or other system resources? You're forced to create methods for explicit destruction, and miss the beauty of C++ stack unwinding. Another hole is the lack of a preprocessor. I know that this lack is a result of a conscious decision, and I even understand the rationale behind it; I merely happen to disagree. You don't deny grown men beef merely because it's unfit food for babies. In spite of these and other holes (lack of const, for example), Java is a well-designed language with, I believe, a substantial role to play.
When comparing for equality, I always put the constant (if any) on the left-hand side. . } If you switch variable and CONSTANT, the assignment above generates a compilation error, as CONSTANT is not an l-value. What these examples have in common is that they prevent bugs. Some aspects of coding style are matters of preference it's unimportant whether you indent your code with three or Page xvi four spaces. If you do not indent your code at all, however, it matters a great deal because such formatting fails to reflect the logical structure of the program.
MFC is (among other things) an application framework that makes certain assumptions about how applications should look and behave. This certainly has benefits; it allows you to create a standard MFC application very quickly, for example. It can be a straightjacket, though; things that are not provided for in the application framework are often hard to do. You can, of course, write MFC applications without taking advantage of CDocuments, CViews and CCmdTargets. If so, you give up the major benefits of MFC anyway.
