Hi dama
A little more context would be helpful, however I assume that the word it might refer to some kind of very complicated and/or time-consuming programming. Possibly there is an easier and faster way to do the same thing which isn't 100% "correct", but for amateurs it's good enough because that is all that is usually necessary. So, the word 'overkill' would mean that doing it the 100% correct way is excessive and unnecessary.
I also assume that it' was a typo -- the person probably forgot the letter S (it's).
I really don't know exactly why the author chose to use the word friendly. I'd need more context to venture a guess about that. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

| This is the entire post of some guy from some forum. It's a discussion which programming language is the best. Somebody said that some programming language is the best for him (it means on c++) and this one is the reply to that. |

Hi dama
He apparently thinks that c++ is too (excessively) complicated for amateurs or that c++ is much more than an amateur needs. He might have meant 'user-friendly' when he wrote 'friendly'. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
