- e12e 9y agoHow would you rate your young self on the "hello-my-name-is-scale", as I like of to think of Stroustrup's notes in his short article from 1999[1] -- in C and Ada at the time? Would your C code "blow up" differently from your Ada code, do you think? I'm not much of a fan of C++ myself, but I often find myself looking back at that short note, as a pretty valid criticism of how C tend to mix some parts that appear simple with some very complex actual behavior (eg: printing strings, reading in strings and integers).
