C++ is better than C because it's so elegantly and efficiently solves problems that don't exist in C.

@tsoding Hot-take opinion I recently developed is that RAII is a root-cause of a lot of unnecessary complexity by forcing you to encapsulate, and that drives a template mess that could be easily avoided if objects weren't expected to clean up after themselves. That's why C ends up simpler

@tsoding I prefer C, Greg

@tsoding it's better because it solves problems that c never tried to solve broo, there's 100's other ways to solve in c++

@tsoding This is so true and nobody disagrees.

@tsoding want to know the worst part about programming in c++? you have to talk to c++ programmers

@tsoding @grok fact check

I didn’t realize the hype still around C++ and C. Must be what they teach in college these days (usually dinosaur professors). With that one honest dis out of the way, here is another honest not so dis. All major IDEs, and software like Java and .NET were built using C, C++, etc. If it is one thing you are all gifted and cursed with, it is the responsibility to take your new found dinosaur tech and build us the next building platform. Get after it.

@tsoding C++ is like a youtube channel for solving problems that are not real life problems, just for fun.

@tsoding c++ is the goat for programming, but for low level hardware tasks, pure c reigns supreme, each c family language excels in its own niche, c for memory efficiency and speed, c++ for versatility

@tsoding I love C++ for its abstractions, but sometimes I miss the simplicity of just malloc-ing my way through life.

@tsoding C++ is better because whatever programming language you prefer, you can find it inside C++. Truly one of the languages of all time.

@tsoding Boooh, C++ is the best language, but some people are just allergic to features and think that not having an optional feature makes their language somehow better.

@tsoding also it got two +, must be better

@tsoding Guys, come on, how will Tsoding create content and make a living if dynamic arrays are already implemented for him 🙂

@tsoding Fighting STL one-liners for an entire day just for fun, just because the simple, 5-minute stdlib calls over 10 lines are not "elegant".

@tsoding Woah fixed it for ya

@tsoding C++, like C, is just a tool. It simplifies some things for complexity in other areas - in the same way C does for ASM. The problem is people think it's one size fits all. Use the language that suits your use case.

@tsoding And it also has far more plus then C so it has to be better no?

@tsoding But *sob* how can I manage the heap memory I allocate randomly everywhere like it was free candy without RAII!!!!!!11111111 IMPOSSIBLE!!!111. Also, it's great with an hour long compile time because it gives me time to reflect over how great C++ is.

@tsoding I will confess that I wish C had generics.

@tsoding The more the plus the better the language, everybody knows this

@tsoding C++ gives me the creative freedom to do almost anything, including blow my leg off with a foot gun. It’s a ton of fun.

@tsoding And C solves problems that don't exist in assembly...?

@tsoding Inheriting a C codebase >>> inheriting the schizo mess that is a C++ codebase

@tsoding Templates are nice though.

@tsoding The perfect language for job security. You create the maze, and then you get paid to be the only one who can navigate it.

@tsoding move+assign ctors/assignments + destructors are great, so long as you properly implement Darth Bane's rule of five

@tsoding How can you shoot your feet off without a footgun?

@tsoding who forced you to write this?

@tsoding wait... what?

@tsoding That's exactly what people who like languages higher than C sound like.

@tsoding C++ is better than C because it’s a superset of C, so you can just write C code, but still pick and choose the C++ features you like and avoid the ones you don’t.
