I figure in 20 or so years the C and C++ cohort will age out, and the problem will get sorted.

- mnk47 3y agoSounds nearly impossible unless you think Windows, MacOS, Linux, Unreal Engine, ROS and every real-time OS will be rewritten within 20 years. Plus infrastructure and ecoystems for so many other domains (e.g. audio, signal processing, telecom, simulation, aerospace). There's plenty of fresh young talent getting into these fields every year.
- pjmlp 3y agoWhen I started coding, going all in using Assembly was perfectly normal, then C, Pascal, Modula-2 were all over the place, then Object Pascal, C++, Clipper, Delphi, then Java and .NET, then .... It will take generations, doesn't make it impossible, and you already see this change happening in mobile OSes like Android, where C and C++ are frowned upon for regular app development other than games.
