Agreed, the point of divergence is already C89, not C99. The C++ compatibility with C, is "As Close as Possible to C, but no Closer" , meaning supporting C should not break the stronger type checking or the improved type system C

That feature was already present in K&R C, C89 function prototypes were actually taken from the C++ standardisation process back into C, while keeping that behaviour in place.

They do it via other ways, translation teams and asset creators for CMSes, I no longer see them in our projects, the builtin AI tooling takes care of it. Same with those that use to improve marketing outcomes for SEO and such, now there are

Alternatively they could be fixing stutters caused by using malloc() on the wrong place.

BASIC was the whole OS in 8 bit home computers. Other than that, either you would have machine code via DATA statement, be lucky that there was support for entering Assembly like on the BBC, or have the opportunity to actually get a proper

Which is why in many countries we stayed on the Speccy and C64, until 386SX were already widespread.

Only if you ignore the 8 bit home computers, we got all BASIC interpreters and machine code for free with each one. And there were "IDEs" that sometimes were offered in cover tapes, at the expense of even lesser RAM, I got one for

Not at all, the golden age of FOSS is gone. It might appear that FOSS has won, however in reality what happened is that corporations have managed to control the message thanks to business friendly licenses.

Starting by using a GC language that is strongly typed, compiles to native code, supports value types, memory pools/arenas if required, which provides best of both worlds. Where GC means any kind of GC algorithm from CS point of view.

I am sure that many of the issues were a skills issue as well.

Yet the three major game engines Unreal, Unity and Godot all have a GC on their infrastructure, and Capcom is quite happy with their .NET fork on RE Engine. Also every single graphics application that uses Metal or DirectX, relies on refere

A proof that normies just can't handle security is that when OS X came to be, many Mac OS users used to ask how to disable the root/regular user dichotomy. Or the long process to educate Windows users, and developers as well, to n

Because people still pay for them, and mac studios aren't usable on server racks, as classical UNIX variants. Maybe Apple should bring OS X Server back, with a rack like drawer. CUDA ecosystem is more than running PyTorch.

No one cares about PWAs, because mobile Web by itself is good enough without having to deal with PWAs boilerplate.

Only if your debugging tool supports hot code reloading without changing execution context, updating live references, and is able to save the session across executions.

More like, debuggers are a subset of what a proper REPL can do.

Sure enough. Going back to the technical implementation part, depending on the C++ version, and being able to understand the target at compile time, no need to do it manually and hacky. There is enough support in constexpr, consteval, conce

With exception of VSCode, because I have no choice due to some plugins, or apps required by customer projects where I have no other option as well, nothing else based on Electron pollutes my computers.

That many features are not ISO, and any language can have extensions just like C, nothing special there. To me choosing JavaScript as example against C, feels like the Tiger Beetle guy that initially chose JavaScript and then went to Zig be
