Q: Why didn’t you write this in $NEW_LANGUAGE instead of crufty C++?
A: I probably should have! $NEW_LANGUAGE is deservedly attracting a lot of attention for its combination of safety, readable syntax, and support for modern programming paradigms. I’ve been trying out $NEW_LANGUAGE and want to write more code in it. But for this I chose C++ because it’s supported on all platforms, lots of people know how to use it, and it still supports high-level abstractions (unlike C.)
Lol
As someone who clicked partly to check if it was Rust-based, I think that’s a 100% fair call-out lol
Same 😂
