I am guilty in a sense, I started a new programming language called C+ and one of the pillars I set was that it should not be an alternative to C (or any other language), in fact it uses Clang as its compiler, most of the points in the article still hold, but I hope it doesn’t stop people from coming up with new ideas and actually implementing them in this field, you don't have to be next big thing to be awesome
- billforsternz 2mo agoI like to program in a C++ subset that's basically C plus a sprinkling of ergonomic quality of life C++ features eg references and generic containers. I think of it as C+. (Edit: No disrespect meant. I just thought such completely different language concepts potentially sharing the same name was kind of amusing)
- netdur 2mo agono worry, name is intentional, it's C + packages, language itself is tiny, strictly bounded by the C ABI, and doesn't include most of the features you'd expect in a language, even standard library is just a external package, so it's not a subset of C++ at all
- inigyou 2mo agoAlmost everyone that uses C++ uses a subset of C++ and it's always a different subset. (That's fine, that's because it's a "big tent" language philosophy)
