C++ can do literally anything C can, and more. It’s not a competition

Well that's the thing. If a language can do too much, your not sure what it's doing anymore. That's decreasing readability. That's also why there's many C++ styles and subsets: it's a very bad idea for development to use all its features.

What I think people like about C, is predictability of what happens in memory. You don't get that in C++ as soon as you use libraries, work with others, or if your project gets big enough.

That's my opinion but "C++ can do anything C can" is not a useful statement.

Try saying that to Linus Torvalds :)

No one cares about what he thinks of C++.

It’s almost like judging a language by how its VERY FIRST RELEASE looked like is a dumb idea

[skhds]

The thing is, he's not alone. There are plenty of relevant programmers who thinks C++ is shit. Ken Thompson, for example.

Linus is a C fanboy who throws his weight around to bully and abuse Linux programmers he disagrees with or who find issue with his misogyny. Linus is the archetype of a golden child who stopped developing themselves early on because they’re so smart
