Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either
Yeah, learning Rust has given me greater appreciation for C/C++. Like, the selling feature of all three is that they don’t use a runtime, which means you’re not locked into that ecosystem. You can create libraries with them, that can be used from virtually any other language.
It’s also easy to say that the performance of Java, Python et al is fine, but having a larger application start up in 1 rather than 20 seconds is still always appreciated.
C++ is pretty sweet.
It definitely has its issues - don’t get me wrong, but it’s pretty sweet.
Correction: modern C++ is pretty sweet.
Chances are if you’re working on C++ in a professional setting it’s not modern C++ :(
