"Can't tell the difference between C and C++" is non-charitable interpretation and is not important here, the important part was memory safety.
- bluGill 2y agoI have seen too many people talk about C and C++ in what quickly becomes clear is a case of they cannot tell the difference. As such I just assume the non-charitable interpretation - I think it is reasonable to assume anybody who knows modern C++ will want to carefully discuss it separate from C.
- pdimitar 2y agoSure, I can accept that happens. Having in mind that C++ has a metric ton of footguns as well as C, I am not sure the difference is very meaningful in practical terms. After all, "if you know what you are doing there will not be memory safety bugs" is said by the C proponents as well.
