People who claim that other languages beyond C, C++ are BS. What is their deal?

I have met a couple of them in real life, and a few I have met online. The sample is not significant enough to draw any conclusions about their point of view and background.

I am more than interested in your opinions about the personality and political makeup of people who express this type of pro-C bigotry.

They are wrong. The correct answer is Rust. Have a great day.

Doesn’t language editions solve that problem? (I am not a Rust expert so please correct me if I am wrong.)

Rust has strong backwards compatibility guarantees so it definitely should.

HERETIC ! CAST THIS FOUL USUPER FROM THE TEMPLE !

C-ing is believing.

C ++ is double plus good.

C has always been at war with Rust.

Your statement already terminated from a NullPointer error when you said “CAST”. Better luck next time, gancho.
