    famously

    C++ is one of the most memed languages in computing history. The number of people who have an “opinion” on it is far, far larger than the number of people who actually work with it (or have ever worked with it…or any programming language).

    My comment was kind of a joke, but not really. It’s ancient history at this point, but there some not-super-solid arguments as to why the kernel bans C++.

      So I work on a C++ project with a coworker heavily using AI code.
      From the amount of structural breakage I see in the code, I’d believe that using it for C code would be an even bigger pain.
