Well then you’re better off with Rust! I have heard the same thing about Java, C# and even scripting languages like Python. It suits you and the project? Go for it!
But the raw pointer in C (and thus C++) is the absolute power, and that’s about it. That is how computers are built, that is how compilers work, that’s how about anything works under the hood. Like it or not.
You dont have to like it, I understand that completely.
It’s maybe a weakness if you dont know what you’re doing, the strength and power of C (and thus if you wish C++) lies in just that you can manipulate memory directly with just a raw pointer however dangerous it is.
Yeah but the cherry on top is that, for example computer guys&gals will produce better on a 4 day week than on a 5 day week! It’s not like being “on” @80percent makes you produce 90% of what you did when being “on” @100%. It’s giving you a day totally free (same salary, not longer days) and you produce at 105%.
Work@home have also shown more productivity.
That’s why we start to wonder why the hell middle management wants us back in the office, at a maximum hours a week.
They probably are bored all alone, and are devoid of empathy, that’s my take anyways!
Yeah, I have been a long for some time and that was the speech for Java, C# etc too you know.
Real like isn’t usually coding a new program with unsafe pointers for speed, it’s usually a 20 y old codebase in C/C++ that interferes with third parties in C, C++, C# and two distinct versions of Java, incompatible between each other.
So maybe Rust is the new deal, like Python was supposed to be and Java before that, we’ll see…
