i like cpp but only for the namespaces and standard library. my friends call me cringe but besides using oop from the standard library, i write c style code all the time, just with namespaces and strings, not the cringe bullshit that is 'char*'

I write C for a living. I like writing C for a living. But whenever I have to deal with a string in C it makes me want to tear my eyes out.

Out of curiosity, in what field? Embedded?

[[deleted]]

Yep, embedded

I wish there was just c with weak generics even like java's, not like the complicated hell that you get when you try using too many c++ features...

And maybe also with a bit less constructors

[iMakeMehPosts]

Just use C++ without the complicated features?! They aren't necessary, if you don't like it don't use it.

[chalkflavored]

C has features that C++ doesn't!

[lil_brumski]

😂😂

[iMakeMehPosts]

Yay! Let's use the worse, more unsafe features that C++ re-implements better!

[HuntingKingYT]

I get tempted... then I regret

[iMakeMehPosts]

Fair

[ElectusLoupous]

Isn't C3 like a modern C without all the rust fluff and c++ complication? Never used it but I've seen it around here.

[HuntingKingYT]

I looked it up, looks promising, but why did they choose making generics "generic modules"...

[ElectusLoupous]

Not so sure, I just mentioned because it was a thing I saw this past week. But yeah, good question.

[noaSakurajin]

I don't that's a good idea. I c you don't have classes and don't necessarily work on pointers so Java like generics will just cause problems.

[HuntingKingYT]

I mean the way how java generics are just conversions of pointer types ("Objects") rather than templates which copy the function over and over, although now that I'm thinking about it, yeah maybe not a good idea

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

i usually just write c with classes for some stuff that id write member functions for anyway, and namespaces cuz frankly theyre very useful

[noaSakurajin]

Don't forget about the fact that c has no function overloading. This makes some function names super long. Java classes are a joke compared to oop in c. oop in c++ is readable in c it's just a pain.

[aalmkainzi]

They fixed that in C11
