> the problem is that when people say this term (C/C++) they make it seem like C and C++ are similar or closely related programming languages Not necessarily, and even if this is true, I still do not care about what someone else’s passing opinion might be. And in fact, if C and C++ were as this article claims they are, then they wouldn’t need to propose new special terminology for putting them together. You don’t say either “C/Java” or “C, Java” because they’re both sufficiently distinct.
