      C is back at HQ with 2 Stars and enough political capital to serve till they die.

        C is old, ubiquitous and still does not have a good replacement for its low-level cross-platform usecases, so I’ll believe it when I see it 😄

          Ada has been around since 1983 and is objectively superior. Yes I will die on that hill.

          It’s too bad programmers are all such egotards they think they can write bugfree programs in C, while whining about how “restrictive” a safe language like Ada is.

          I’m not too familiar with C, but I was under the impression that C++ was deceloped as a superset to C, and was capable of everything C could do. Is that not the case?

            I mean yeah, if you restrict yourself to the C part of C++ it can do everything C can. But then you’re not getting any of the advantages of C++.

            Once you start using things like classes and templates heavily, your program will quickly outgrow low-end hardware.
