I'll keep my templates, smart pointers, concepts, RAII, and now reflection, thanks. C and its macros are good for compile times but nothing much else. Programming in C feels like banging rocks together.
- dboon 1y agoAgree to disagree, then! Templates, smart pointers, and RAII have cost me far, far more than they’ve paid me back. You should write whatever feels good to you.
- delta_p_delta_x 1y agoHappy to. If I may, I have an analogy: C feels a little like survival mode in Minecraft; you have a set of very simple abstractions, a relatively simple language, with which one can build the world (and in many cases, we have). C++ feels like a complex city builder, with lots of tools, designs, and paradigms available, but also allows one to screw up in bigger ways.
