Both of those have their place. If you're just knee-jerk objecting to them, then I'm afraid your credibility drops to near zero.

It's hardly knee jerk opposition. I speak as someone whose been programming in C++ for years. I think the whole "modern C++" thing is great, but smart pointers are just plain dumb. Even the Boost guys admit they are slow. They don't fill a niche that needs to be filled --- they are slower than GC, and more cumbersome to use.

Now you're just exposing your ignorance. Read up on what has been done in Managed C++.

Managed C++ isn't C++. It's C# dolled up to look like C++.
