Love GDB. It has saved my life many times, but who uses it anymore? Not trolling, just curious. Managed code has won, has it not?

- biohacker42 17y agoThere's plenty of C/C++ work. A lot of legacy but a good chunk of new stuff too.

- bct 17y agoWebapps and x86 have "won" too, but if you think nobody writes code for anything else you're awfully sheltered.
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoNo, not yet. C and C++ are not only alive, but thriving.
- icefox 17y agoI used it last night :)
- pgbovine 17y agoas other posters on this thread have mentioned, i think it really depends on the community you belong to ... many GNU open-source hackers swear by C and won't touch managed code with a ten-foot-long stick because of their associations with Sun (Java) and MSFT (.NET) ... whereas if you're writing enterprise applications in a big company, your entire firm is probably on .NET and would scoff at those unix hippies still using command-line gdb :) joelonsoftware has an article entitled Biculturalism that addresses this issue: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Biculturalism.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Biculturalism.html
