You are specifically describing being stuck with C++ for legacy reasons despite trying to disprove it. You say you cannot use D and Rust because of the FFI needed for integration. How is that not a legacy issue? You got existing C++ code you need to integrate with. How is that not a legacy issue?
What I am talking about is that if you don't have to use a C++ library to solve your task, there is simply no sane reason to pick C++.
- mlang23 6y agoFrom such a futuristic point of view, I guess you are right. However, it will likely take a few decades until your wish is granted and everything has been rewritten language X. Calling all interfaces your OS gives you legacy is pretty far stretched man :-)
