      Wat? Don’t you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

      the author of C++ said that C gives you many opportunities to shoot yourself in the leg. You have a much less chance for this to happen with C++, but when it does, you will blow your whole lower body off

        Yeah C++ is a bazooka, C is like the death of 1000 paper cuts.

        The paper cuts are all poisonous and kills you anyway.

          C++ is a bazooka that only fires when it’s pointed at your feet

          I haven’t used either, but compiled a lot of C source code and they compiled or could be adjusted easier even for someone who barely knows what printf, fopen, or #include are

            The thing with C is that you probaby won’t know you messed it up. It happens silently as memory gets corrupted.

            Modern compilers are much more advanced but you still can overwrite stuff in memory with other stuff
