What's your plan to improve something that does not involve adding improvements?
- UncleMeat 4y agoC++ is famous for being bloated. It desperately needs to be able to remove stuff but it can't because of its desire to maintain ABI compatibility with binaries compiled on older versions.
- simplotek 4y ago> C++ is famous for being bloated. No, it isn't. If anything, it's famous for its spartan standard library. It only received smart pointers in C++11 and a file system library in C++17. > It desperately needs to be able to remove stuff but it can't because of its desire to maintain ABI compatibility with binaries compiled on older versions. This is outright wrong. Some standards already deprecate and remove features, like std::auto_ptr going away in C++17 or volatile in C++20. You're trying to pass off too many baseless assertions as undisputed facts.
