I never said C is without abstraction, only that it is a relatively thin abstraction. Are you seriously arguing that Rust is not at a higher level of abstraction than C?
- littlestymaar 5y ago> Are you seriously arguing that Rust is not at a higher level of abstraction than C? Rust is clearly not at a higher level of abstraction than C++, yet in your own argument you've put C and C++ on the same ground…
