In this thread that I mentioned (https:// > github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/discussions/1720), I pointed out a Jesus! "Aggressive" my arse and don't "insult C++" otherwise they may cry. You made valid points. Points I've made before only to be ganged up on. These "people" just aren't worth dealing with imo. I wish more company's would dump c++, but they won't. I've even started reading, a while back and not finished yet, a java book, *spit*, at least there's no pointer crap. > few things that I'm unhappy with in C++ that, in Ada, are "solved" and > have been for decades.

The only language I've seen which is a replacement for C, but is really Pascal underneath is Odin ("Pascal in a C dress," Ginger Bill). But even that doesn't really add much in the way of syntax sugar, it's quite basic like Go. > Now, personally, if I were in a position where I was tasked to uphold a > code of conduct whose aims were to provide a welcoming forum, and not > being nasty to people, my response to this would NOT be: > >> "Please stop.

Exactly. > While the hypocrisy left me almost speechless, I did have to laugh :-) Sounds like an echo chamber where they all agree that c++ has had it's day, but they still want c++ so are remaking it their way and their way is the only way. Can't say I'll be using it.
