Yes? Features are great. I do not miss writing C++ without smart pointers, lambdas, span, etc.
If you don't want comfortable, common features enshrined in the language, you can just write C. Personally, I think using C for anything complex is torture.
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoTHe issue with C++ is that progressive generations of totally new truckloads of features don't auto-port legacy code forward. So "idiomatic C++" is a hilarious moving target, and the body of code (one of C++'s advantages) is a hodgepodge of idioms, feature usage, interfaces, etc. That said, C++ is what it is, and it is kind of proud of it, so I say to C++, keep C++ing.
