Which is a project which is born in 2008, and still ship codes from the 90's. That also include one of the most optimized (meaning complex) piece of code world wide: V8.
You have nothing that come even close to the complexity, usability and popularity of Chrome in both Java and C# world. Ironically, even Microsoft uses a C++-core in its software, including MS Office and Edge. Maybe you should reflect on that.

You're welcome.
>Would you defend either of those industries as a haven of good coding practices?
Every industry has domain driven standards in term of coding practice. They all have their reasons based on deadlines, usages, iteration cycle, developer backgrounds, safety.
Pretending that one culture is superior to the other is both pretentious and let appear a bad misunderstanding of the world we are in.
Now this is my last comment on this thread. I do not think you are open to any discussion.

Back in 2008 C++ advocates were saying the same thing: all those errors are only in old codebases, modern C++ doesn't have those problems. At what point should we stop believing it? > You have nothing that come even close to the complexity, usability and popularity of Chrome in both Java and C# world. Nonsense. There are dozens of more complex, more usable, and more popular systems written in Java and C#. > Ironically, even Microsoft uses a C++-core in its software, including MS Office and Edge. In the older projects that they're most conservative about, yes. Large companies change slowly. Doesn't mean what they're doing today is wise. > Every industry has domain driven standards in term of coding practice. They all have their reasons based on deadlines, usages, iteration cycle, developer backgrounds, safety. Which is to say that good development practices will be a lesser or greater priority level in different industries.
