It's easier to say goodbye C++!
- speedgoose 4y agoA full rewrite seems extremely expensive and long. I’m afraid C++ isn’t going anywhere in our lifetime.
- Kwpolska 4y agoC++ can stay, but people can make a decision not to use it for anything and not to take any jobs involving C++ (or other systems/bare-metal-ish languages).
- pjmlp 4y agoC is 10 years younger than COBOL, C++ is 20 years younger than COBOL, COBOL is still around.
- krater23 4y agoIt's more easy to just don't adopt the new standard.
- butterisgood 4y agoI've written a fair amount of C++ in my day, and this seems totally unacceptable to me. Also my opinion seems unpopular on this topic, so I suspect some group of people that really want to get behind C++ don't like that kind of talk. Whatever though. Rust and other newer languages are kind of giving the spaces C++ works well in a run for its money and in other ways just completely blowing it out of the water in my opinion. It might be time to look at D again too.
