I've been spittings hundreds of c++ code back in 1996-1999, not knowing that it was not...standardized. You may be astonished at the complexity. The only downside was that it took minutes to compile it on 386DX and Borland's C compiler was faster with C. Inline assembly was a commonplace back in the day, so to know C/C++ actually meant to know Assembly and hand-optimize code more often than not.
- notRobot 6y agoI've worked with plenty of complex legacy C/C++ :). The downsides are that it doesn't run on modern machines, is difficult to maintain, and you need to implement dozens of workarounds to do basic things that can be done in modern languages with just a couple lines of code.
