Another trend, which I find positive, is how many people are now
(finally!) assuming that C widespread into the industry was after all
not that good, in terms of bugs/line of code.
Now we need another 30 years until D, Rust, Swift, Nim, <place
language name here>, get to replace C and C++.
Jonathan referenced Mike Action, who when asked about what C++ vs C said
he preferred C and that using C++ was cultural:
I mean in terms of unsafe code and the amount of money spent in research
and bug fixing that could have been avoided, if C wasn't as it is.
I wouldn't be that vocal about C if:
- arrays were bound checked (just use a compiler flags and dataflow to
remove them like any sane language)
- enums were strong typed
- had reference parameters
- had namespaces or real modules
- no implicit type conversions
- had a sane macro system
But I guess D already covers it...
