Software taketh away faster than hardware giveth: Why C++ programmers keep growing fast despite competition, safety, and AI in c/programming@programming.dev

Everything Herb Sutter says about the popularity of C++ should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Right, so you can't "enforce" a return from the function.

shouldn’t Rust enforce returning from function

How do you enforce returning from exit or a function with a loop that never terminates?

You're kidding yourself if you think most people in this thread are actually programmers. Most people here wouldn't know the difference between C and Rust code if they saw it, let alone be able to write anything in either language.

C++ [..] is under attack from the US and EU [and] everybody promoting a different language for anything C++ is used for [..] (www.open-std.org)
 

I can't wait to try out the groundbreaking but still traditional and comfortable C++ Profiles that are going to be "designed", "verified", and "implemented" in the span of about 3 years by the sharpest minds on the committee operating under the assumption that everybody is out to get them and that this feature is not only absolutely essential to the survival of C++ but at the same time the result of pointless bureaucracy cooked up by the perverted minds that seek to corrupt our way of life.

I am absolutely certain that I will be able to test out the feature in a functional compiler before the release of C++26.

The TrapC compiler can avoid most memory-safe-pointer boundary checks by using AI code reasoning (thenewstack.io)
 

Turns out we don't need a borrow checker after all. We can just use vague "AI code reasoning". This seems highly credible and I'm sure we're going to see a fully functional compiler and source release within the next 10 decades.

I once spent three days debugging a single line of code. When I finally found the missing semicolon, my team praised me as a “coding wizard.” (medium.com)
