Troll Alert: Operator overloading a mistake?

Something that calls itself Paul Fame wrote:
In my University course teaching Java, my lecturer just claimed that
operator overloading in C++ was a mistake and that
Java's lack of operator overloading was a "big step forward".

Can anyone else provide counter-arguments to this,
to prove I am still sane?


This is an obvious troll.
Please ignore it.

I did look for the signs before replying, but didn't see it as necessarily a
troll. I don't regard the e-mail address as evidence, since I use a junk
address myself.

My troll-spotting education must have some way to go.

I think that Paul Fame should ask its lecturer
to post its assertions to comp.lang.c++ directly. ;-)

This notion that you are going to give Paul Fame "ammunition"
to fire back at its lecturer seems a bit absurd to me.
Don't you agree? ;-)

I concede that if I wanted to post a troll, this is probably the kind of
thing I'd post. I suppose that I don't like to assume a troll if there's any
chance that it isn't.
