Stroustrup as always fails to recognize the vast surface area of C++ features, foot cannons, and the heavy weight of C compatibility around C++ neck.
C++ barely made sense in 1995. It makes absolutely no sense today.
- zenbowman 3y agoI would argue that it made sense for performance-sensitive code until the maturation of Rust, so it made sense even in 2015. But not today.
- b20000 3y agoyou pay a performance penalty and i don’t want to learn another language and package management system
- b20000 3y agomakes sense to me
- dvngnt_ 3y agoare there any game engines for AAA development in rust?
- pjmlp 3y agoVersus C, it definitly made lots of sense. For me it was the only language I could see myself using after getting used to Object Pascal quality of life, in tooling, type safety, and language features. C felt jurassic already in 1993, and there wasn't any other portable alternative I could reach for. However that copy-paste compatibility with C is what definitly has made it unsuitable for writing safe code nowadays, specially with the C culture that is now left. Those of us that like C++, but also are on the safety side, have already embraced other programming languages, relegating C++ for the absolute must use cases.
