I'm not so critical of the language itself (it's just another language), but how it's managed and promoted. I'm also critical about some of it evangelists. For example, from your comment I can learn I work in (or with?) a C shithole, that I don't want to try Rust (which I am learning, at my own slow pace) and that I don't want to use Rust because I have a confort zone, and "a symptom".
Tell me, how on earth I am going to be motivated to learn Rust, by reading something like that?
> We debug most of our time
I can't remember the last time I chased a memory bug of some sort. On embedded, to me, debug means chasing a logical bug or an internal peripheral not working, or finding workarounds for some external peripheral that is not working or answering as it should. So it really feels bad when I read the following sentence:
"is bug free. It's a magic experience"
What are you talking about? Perhaps free from "memory bugs"? As I said, I rarely deal with memory bugs.
> your own comfort zone
I develop and maintain 8, 16 and 32 bit projects, from Cortex-M down to MSP430/STM8. Also I'm in charge of embedded Linux and Android customization and builds, 32 and 64 bits (former Windows CE developer). I wish I had a comfort zone... sometimes.
