I like how he casually asserts that most of "us" don't program in C even though C and C++ are the #2 and #3 languages in the TIOBE Index today, after Java. It's fifty times more popular than Rust or whatever trend he thinks his friends are chasing.
- actuator 7y agoThe way TIOBE index ranks, a lot of C and C++ numbers are due to uni courses dealing with it. But it is definitely much more used than something like than Rust.
- shereadsthenews 7y agoSure the TIOBE Index is flawed. I wouldn't have even mentioned it but it forms the basis of his argument.
- hwayne 7y agoYeah it absolutely sucks as a measure. You're better off manually counting languages that appear in job postings. That gives you a better breakdown of what people were actually hiring for.
