Be honest with yourself
CPP ecosystem is far from being sane in compare to e.g Rust.
- pictur 4y agoare you serious with this comment or is it a joke?
- hardware2win 4y agoVery serious
- bilekas 4y agoCare to elaborate further on that ? Not sure what you mean about CPP 'ecosystem' being far from sane.
- hardware2win 4y agoBilion build systems, package managers, compilers, test frameworks, etc etc You change company and you have to relearn all boring tools
- pjmlp 4y agoWhile it has lots of warts, and no matter what it won't ever be Rust like safe, Rust still has 40 years of libraries, IDEs and tooling to catch up to. And until it gets bootstrapped, it will have a dependency on C++ compiler infrastructure.
- saidinesh5 4y agoIn my experience, there's no such thing as cpp ecosystem... What there are, are many little ecosystems that revolve around various subsets of the giant language called C++. And they tend to range from quite fun to use to living nightmares/walking zombies... For eg, if you just stick to Qt/C++/QML ecosystem for making GUI/Embedded apps, the libraries are quite good, the developer tooling is quite nice, you never even leave your IDE. Infact it is nicer than what Rust has to offer for GUI today. However, if you want to make webapps/services with C++, my experience has been death by thousand cuts. I have heard similar stories from developers coming from Windows/VC++. For a lot of them, cross platform portability isn't a thing to worry about. A lot of them just store compiled dlls and header files of their dependencies in their repos etc...
