As a computer engineering student (the programming counterpart to electrical engineering), I still prefer C over C++.
I dislike C++ because it's just so unbelievably complicated and hard to learn. There's a special place in hell for the abominations C++ calls error messages. Clang helps, but not enough unfortunately.
- thawkins 10y agoIm suprised that nobody has mentioned golang, which is generaly described as the successor to "c".
- SyneRyder 10y agoGolang is great, and I'd love to move my code over to it from C and C++. But one of my projects involves creating a Windows DLL, and I don't think Golang provides a way to for me to compile to that just yet. I don't think Go has a strong GUI story yet either (and even if it did, it will take a while for the tooling to match XCode or Delphi or Xojo). Languages have different strengths, part of programming is deciding which languages & toolset are most productive for the project you're working on.
