The need for other programming languages?

[jonnin]

Ive seen this too. The database & web programmer subgroups have a bit of hate on c++. Most of them don't know it well enough to code hello-world: the hate is 'learned' from professors or peers, not from experience.

Yeah, it's just fun to code in C++. You really feel like you're doing something.
