Using C++ as your other comparison point when arguing that C isn't low level is by far the most smartass idea in this thread.
- pjmlp 2mo agoNot at all, because for C heads, C++ can't do what C does, for whatever imaginary reasons.
- jstimpfle 2mo agoI challenge you to find one random person making that claim and to present it with a straight face. What kind of ghosts are you fighting?
- Dylan16807 2mo agoYeah, I see plenty of people complain that C++ can't be simple because devs will keep reaching into the cookie jar, but that's not the language being unable to do something C can. The only complaint I see about C++ not being capable is the correct observation that more platforms have C compilers than C++. Either way, C++ spans a big range that goes just as low level as C. Even if these complaints are real they don't make it a reasonable comparison point for the "C is actually high level" argument.
