On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).
On the other hand, when weighing one’s feelings against the common good, I guess it’s not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?
If I was giving a tour of my kitchen and it included phrases such as “avoid using the leftmost cabinet of any set of two”, “the freezer doesn’t work but the fridge can be set to the same temperature”, or “the oven has been deprecated, just use the microwave”, you’d rightfully gtfo. Why is this acceptable of a programming language??
