Sounds like a lot of "contemporary automation today" to me - automation that would often apply about as well to C code bases as well as horrifically overcomplex C++ codebases.
Also, why even draw a stark contrast between "a language" and "its tooling"? As a dev, you get to use both.
What is even the line..? Almost every compiler for anything provides options. Does gcc -fsanitize=.. not count because it's not "standardized" or only because its not activated in "typical" deployments like Rust integer overflow checks?
- ncmncm 5y agoThe line is very, very easy: if it is in the language, you can see it represented syntactically in the source code, and programmers using the language write it there. If not, not.
