if anything c is more popular now than 5-10 years ago. not c++ but normal c. especially with the pendulum swing away from oo
it's almost an ideal hipster language.
- sidlls 10y agoUgh, that's the last thing I want to see. I didn't start diving into Rust until very recently for two reasons: 1) the instability of the language and 2) the terrible, juvenile hatred for C and C++ that seems to almost be a pre-requisite for participation in the ecosystem. Rust until recently was an anti-C hipster's wet dream ("upstart"-y, not really yet ready for wide-spread use, and a convenient goto for folks wanting to have a bit of trendy "bash C (or C++)" fun. Both items have diminished considerably lately, though, and that's something I can appreciate.
- Manishearth 10y ago> the terrible, juvenile hatred for C and C++ I'm surprised (and sorry) to hear that. The Rust community tries very hard to avoid language zealotry. If you see it on any of the Rust forums (can't speak for other sites), please report it. I've seen lots of well-reasoned complaining about UB and other issues that C/++ are prone to, but not much juvenile hatred.
- pjmlp 10y agoI hate C since 1992. By now juvenile is something I surely am not.
