Just ask the C++ folks about the wonders of global variables that are actually complex classes with a constructor and a destructor.
You can't use that as an argument against global variables in other languages.
Why not?
So what if there are problems with globals that are actually complex classes etc in C++? Why should that matter to anyone using any other language?
Does the creation of global variables never fail in Haskell?
That's a different argument, not based on C++.
Besides, my main point is that they are _unnecessary_ in my experience,
Ok, but that's again not the C++ argument (which was all that I was addressing). -- Jeff
