where you can have absolutely no idea how many memory allocations are
done, due to type coercions, overloaded operators

You are assuming (incorrectly) everybody will use dumb string classes like that.


Not really. He said "It's way to easy for idiots to do something like this:"
just prior to the line you quoted. I wholeheartedly agree, but in no way
does anyone assume that everybody will use dumb string classes.

I'm sure it's perfectly possible to write properly functioning programs in
C++. I know I use a few of them myself. That doesn't change the fact that
it's an idiot-friendly language to write code in that's extremely annoying
for competent programmers to fix up later.
