This article seems incredibly detached from reality. No, C++ is not just C with classes, but C and C++ are the same kind of language, with the same roots, and when we're talking to people who don't know C or C++ the difference between them is literally irrelevant because these folks are (thankfully, finally) never going to use either. The people for whom it matters know the difference, and this article is irrelevant to them, the people to whom it is completely irrelevant don't know, don't care, and don't need to hear this.
- anthk 3y agoLike Java and JS right?
- TheRealPomax 3y agoYou thought you were joking, but yes, kind of like that, but then actually, given that C++ was a direct result of C. Because JS only has the word "java" in the name because that's the name people were going to get tricked into thinking it was a serious thing over. Which is why the "real" language hassn't been called JavaScript for two decades now (but no one's going to use its real name, because ecmascript? really? do I need a cream for that?)
