  1. Eclipse would be an absolute nighmare, especially for beginners.

  2. I've been a C++ programmer for 30 years. I love it. Flexible, powerful, and performant, and implementations build native executables by default. I agree with your approach to OOP. It's a tool, but it shouldn't dominate.

  3. The whole java development environment and ecosystem sucks big time, and some bits suck more than other bits... Eclipse IDE should probably head the list in terms of crapware. Even the Eclipse Foundation effectively admitted that there were serious problems related to usability and market share. Taken as a whole, java has been the worst language / dev environment I've encountered in my 30 years of coding. C++ is my favourite by a massive margin. If I had to choose 2nd place, it would be C. And no, I am not battle worn. I very rarely have problems with pointers and memory. And no, java is not as performant as C/C++ or Rust and a few others in the sane class.
