Some genius programmer made a totally new shine kernel for the scientific app we had, using template metaprogramming. I had to finalise it. I still nightmare about the errors (GCC 4.8).
If you think C++ is easy, then this is a simple trick to bump up the challenge IMO.
Also completely unmaintainable or expandable ofc!

“There are only two kinds of programming languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.” This is a famous quote attributed to Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++.

Well, technically I didn’t complain about a programming language, but an abuse of it.
I like C/C++ !

Same here, might just be because I learned with Object Oriented languages but C++ syntax just gels well with how I think. That could just be autism though.
