What about C? That's being modernized too, sometimes with novelties from C++ modernization, like `nullptr`! :p

- staunton 3y agoThe amount of new syntax and programming concepts being constantly crammed into C is much smaller. If I had to quantity it, I'd estimate that C++ is by now roughly 3.5 programming languages in one while C is maybe 1.5... The more stuff you have the more problematic (adding foot guns and making it hard to learn a language) it is to add more stuff because it all interacts. And a lot of C++ features interact in bad ways...
