It's arguably cleaner and more robust than Python's OO implementation,
|
|
but possibly that's just me.
|
|
|
|
For example, and I might have this wrong (ie., there could be
|
|
workarounds), Python has problems with cyclic references. If two objects
|
|
have references to each other, you need to delete both objects to resolve
|
|
the link: There's no support for weak connections to objects, other than
|
|
inane workarounds such as factory functions or referring to objects by
|
|
string names.

|
|
And there are even people who like the MFC. :)

But worth it.
