  1. I've just imported a 25 year old C++ program into MS VS 2022, and only a few changes were required around for loop scope. Took 10 mins. The code was originally developed on Windows 95 with MSVC 4.0. Needless to say, I was rather surprised that it was so easy.

  2. Java is a horrendous language. I loath it with a passion. I loath the whole java concept, the JVM, the tools, and the ecosystem. I hate all of it with a passion. For me, it will be a career ending development environment. But I love C++. Sadly, it's not so easy to find C++ work when java is encroaching.

  4. This language sounds worse to me than rust and zig and a bunch of other C or C++ wannabes. Use only once seems like a bunch of unnecessary overhead for no good reason.

  5. I like C as long as macros aren't overused, but I like C++ better. People just love to bash C (and C++) because it's seen as the cool thing to do by the 'in crowd'.
