Why rewrite C and C++ parts? Just because someone doesn't program properly in one language doesn't mean you need to rewrite everything written in that language.

Why rewrite C and C++ parts? Just because someone doesn't program properly in one language doesn't mean you need to rewrite everything written in that language. Bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
- andreasvc 13y agoBecause this type of mistake is easy to make in C and other programming languages make this class of bugs impossible. By moving the need for careful design from library to language implementation you get greater leverage in preventing bugs.
- cowbell 13y ago>Just because someone doesn't program properly It isn't just accidental errors you need to worry about. Obfuscated intentional errors are a problem too. If the language design prevents bugs that an NSA mole would try to slip in, then that is a very good reason to rewrite in a new language.
