My opinion: If you can't use Haskell, you should definitely use a null-free language for safety in this day and age, which means Rust and definitely not C/C++.

- cryptonector 9y agoYes, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to use C/C++ as needed -- sometimes you have no choice.
- SomeHacker44 9y agoAs always, pragmatism is good. If you are good at C/C++, use it and be happy and productive. I presumed the context of this discussion, however, was wanting to use Haskell for its particular benefits, and in my opinion the null-free nature is a key benefit, which would not be achieved by using C/C++.
- pjmlp 9y agoLet me know when I can use Rust in Android, iOS and UWP with the same level of tooling and libraries support as C++. I want to eventually use it, but not at the price of my productivity.
