C++ experience is like bash or Perl experience. You can write something, often not even that bad, but you will be much slower and there will be a lot of cliffs from which you will fall.

It is not to boast or sanctify the language. After 15 years of commercial experience with it I just hate it and feel like it is a lot of useless knowledge, which I regret. It can be useful and there are always trade-offs, but I still hate it.
