Thoughts on Operator Overloading

I managed to write concise and clear code, despite the fact that I don't like operator overloading. Being a Java Programmer I prefer a.add(b) constructs as against a+b .

Thought a+b seems more logical in some cases such as of Addition of Matrices. Long Equations involving Matrices can be written way cleaner using operator overloading. Actually operator overloading is a great feature in OOP until abused!

Here are some arguments against operator overloading:-

1. Its syntactical sugar.
2. Easier to make mistakes.
3. Often operator don't do what you expect them to do.
