Several quotes in the article definitely rubbed me the wrong way and make it hard for me to take it serious.
“No programming language has come close to C or C++ when it comes to efficiency."
Really? This is obviously false. You don't have to reach for the "hip" Rust to see that. There is a reason lots of math libs are still implemented in Fortran and not in C or C++ that are clearly unparalleled in their efficiency.
"I love C because it involves a lot of hardware manipulation. You can play with a lot of cool sensors, embedded systems and control actual physical things."
This isn't even a statement about the language.
I think this post is just empty air wrapped around a advertisement for that Holberton school.
