@kasdeya@cryptid.cafe C++ is the only lang out of the 30 or so langs I've worked with that managed to make me hate it
Not even JavaScript, Perl, Ruby, or Bash managed that.

@tranquillity@mastodon.minionflo.net I can really see why omg. and I’m only on chapter 6/21 of an introductory book on the language it feels like they tried to make C nicer to use with abstractions, but then those abstractions turned out to be horrendously leaky so they tried to fix those with even leakier abstractions. so now I’ve got 3 ways to do everything and all of them are footguns

@tranquillity@mastodon.minionflo.net @kasdeya@cryptid.cafe have you tried regular C? I hate it and never want to look at it again
