Comment on Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoIn general, for me, Rust > C > C++.
I’ve heard people say that C is like a loaded and cocked revolved, and if you’re not careful, you could blow your foot off, whereas C++ is like a loaded and cocked sawed-off shotgun, and if you’re not careful, you could blow your leg off.

C++ is a semi automatic shotgun with 200 barrels point in all directions.

Whilst it’s gotten a lot better in the -17 and -20 iterations, the fact that there was recently a doorstop book published solely on the subject of C++ initialisation semantics is pretty telling.
I really like what Herb Sutter’s doing around cppfront; I still wouldn’t use C++ unless I absolutely had to.
