I think it is more the case that C++ slowly splintered off C and never broke free completely of #include. Rust is also quite compatible with C without supporting anything like #include. It even has a module system!
- boris 9y agoIt is being implemented by the big three (GCC, Clang, and VC). In Clang and VC it is already usable to some extent.
- CyberDildonics 9y agoYou are talking about limited binary compatibility instead of source compatibility. These are two different things and can't be compared to one another.
