You may be right. There are few new-ish C++ CLI tools that I can think of. I don't know why I said it.

It sounds like [a] to me, not [æ]. The a in the name Jacques is pronounced as in the word father . The a in the name Jack is pronounced as in cat.

I'm American and pronounce Jacques and Jack the way they described. If someone said [ʒak], I would transcribe it as Jacques, and if someone said [dʒæk], I would transcribe it as Jack. It may be a French name, but it's not very for

The other options are C, C++, Go, and maybe Ada or Zig, though I haven't seen many CLI tools written in those two in practice. In practice, it seems like Go, Rust, and C++ are the preferred languages for newer CLI tools, although I hav

I don't know exactly what the OP was trying to say, but in my experience, Windows runs noticeably slowly and is sluggish compared to Linux on the same hardware. I have a Skylake CPU and 16GB of RAM, too; it's not just a crappy net

They said that they thought it wasn't worth updating from C++11 to C++17. In their defense, C++17 adds only some incremental changes. There isn't much to port anyway. Although I don't disagree with this: > Sorry, you'

I'm going to guess that most programmers active today didn't go to university in the 1980s, either (that would mean they were born in the 1960s, which would put put their current age somewhere in their 60s). So there's no poi

If C hadn't been standardized by ISO, I wonder if C implementors would have eventually added stuff like this just because they found it useful. Or if C had been standardized, but C++ didn't exist, maybe they would have added featu

You don't have to get rid of #include and the preprocessor to add modules. The ISO C++ committee has added modules to the newer standard and they haven't gotten rid of headers and conditional inclusion. Modules would be nice just

Modula had "import" in 1975, and C is only barely younger than it; the first version of C appeared in 1972, and the first version with structures appeared in 1973. It's surprising to me that the creators of C++ didn't ad

That's how I learned it, not having known anything about git or version control beforehand. I used this site: learngitbranching.js.org/ Which represents commits as circles with arrows pointing to their parents.

The main issue is that C doesn't have a way to pass arrays of any size to functions while preserving their type (the size is part of an array's type in C); by convention, one generally passes a pointer to its first element and a s
