Feels a bit like being told to do brain surgery and getting handed a hatchet, especially in the modern era.
Like, its a great learning language precisely because it does force you to think about what’s actually under the hood of your objects and attributes. You actually have to learn what a pointer is. You actually have to think about memory usage and system states. Its like Bio 1 when they have you dissect a rat.
But without a ton of library support, you’re doing so much heavy lifting. And with a bunch of library support… why not just use C#?
…do you mean C++ or just C? Cause, sure, you can poke around with pointers and references in C++ but it can also be used just like any other OOP language, whereas in C it’s absolutely necessary since it’s not an OOP language.
Programming in C++ is downright horrifying to me after trying other languages. The way it does generics is fucked up on so many levels…
