TheCharlatan on Nostr: After a full year working with c++ again I feel like it really doesn't offer anything ...
After a full year working with c++ again I feel like it really doesn't offer anything that I would miss were I be writing Rust instead. On the contrary, on multiple occasions an otherwise sane refactor was criticized for opening the door towards dangerously extending the lifetime of a variable - a problem that would have been trivial to handle in Rust. Also the techniques suggested for handling these situatons in c++ were mitigations at best.
