- thawaway1837 7y agoThat’s ironic because arguably C++ became a much better language in the last decade or so than what it was before that.
- rob74 7y ago...and I'm sure the language features which feel like torture now looked like a good idea at the time they were implemented, decades ago.
- dwaite 7y agoHowever, most of those torturous points were from the onset, to attempt 100% compatibility with C.
- marcosdumay 7y agoHum... No they didn't. People were creating new languages by that time just to reimplement them correctly.
- dralley 7y agoThe "edition" model is a big point in Rust's favor. They can make "backwards incompatible" syntax changes without infringing on the ability to compile older code.
