I think it's also that idiomatic C++ is evolving further and further away from anything resembling C. So it's turning from C with extra features into a completely separate language that happens to interoperate well with C.
- woodruffw 4y agoThis is true. It's also true that, in terms of abstract machine semantics, C++ is the closest language to C. Similarly, in terms of optimizing compiler implementations, they're the two "core" languages implemented by most frontends. The grouping of "C/C++" makes sense in both of these contexts, at the minimum.
