Trying Out C++ as a Web Developer
- sylware 4mo agoDon't use c++ as it has an absurd and grotesque syntax complexity pushed down to compilers. A less worse compromise: plain and simple C.
- rvz 4mo ago> Don't use c++ as it has an absurd and grotesque syntax complexity pushed down to compilers. Sounds like a skill issue.
- sylware 4mo agoNope, it is related to sanity, not skill.
- hooby 4mo agoThis is not meant to be any sort of religious "my lang > your lang" discussion, or anything along those lines. I've no big complaints about the langauge itself, or it's syntax so far. I picked C++ over C, because I'm used to working object oriented. That too has it's religious defenders and contractors - and I can definitely see it's downsides. But in the end it's a tool, and you prefer the tools you're good with, right? All that pointer-stuff is definitely a bit difficult to get into at first, though.
- sylware 4mo agoChoosing plain and simple C over c++ is not an equivalent choice than the other way around. There are consequences. Do you understand how insanely more complex a c++ compiler is compared to a plain and simple C one? If you cannot understand why this is an issue, I cannot do much more.
