What compels people to use C or C++? Seriously? Imagine copying bytes like a cave man in 2026.
>>109538043Bait thread btw.
>>109538043being able to see what is actually happening between hardware and software is a joy you will never understand
>>109538043Ah C. The language where even the most basic tasks are so annoying to do that people doing the most midwit tier projects get to have presentations about them
>>109538062he said while completely clueless how compiler rearranged his code at the slightest whiff of UB
>>109538043They don't know any better and they can even imagine something better. Cargo cult.
>>109538043You've never used C++
>>109538092ya. I remember when I did stupid shit with bash and awk and even sed and realizing that the esotericness was just contrarian cred and time wasting effort.
>>109538043the fact that theres a multitude of different ways of storing, or copying said bytesthe "non-caveman languages" either provide you 55 different interfaces to do a variety of things fpr which you only need 3 in Cor just abstract these away and youre fucked if you need to do things in a specific way
>>109538043Isn't C++ still the prime language for game development?
>>109538277most games are made in C# in xna/fna or unity shit nowadays.
>>109538277For custom engines and AAA, yes. The undisputed king.
>>109538049Why does /g/ call all real takes bait?
>>109538297>C is bad>real takeLMFAO. It happens literally everyday and it IS bait.C is irreplaceable. Deal with it. Nobody cares about your vibe coded Rust slop.
>>109538043C is the only high level language that is usable. I am not even going to answer your question on why are people copying bytes because you are clearly an idiot that doesn't understand that that's the way computers work.
>>109538043richard feldman is an ex-webdev who's making a heavily Elm-inspired desktop language anon.he's not a cnile
>>109538043>What compels people to use C or C++? Seriously? Imagine copying bytes like a cave man in 2026.What compels (You) to post these bait threads? Have you examined your psychic health, lately?
>>109538096You can flag your compiler to come in like a bitch on heels and not rearrange anything.
>>109539184perhaps, a 500-character command line exists for unfucking gcc, but I haven't personally reached for it due to using any other language in its stead.
>>109538043Why is he using a Mac, though?
Dupe of >>109538123
>>109538043If you're not a clown, you use C, a real man's language.
>>109538043>it just works>massive ecosystem>rock system>if it's good for nasa and nuclear missible guiding system then it's good for me>very easy to understand>very easy to debug>lingua franca of the programming world>strong tooling>>109538049bait website, you have 0 reason to be here if you don't want to interact with bait.>>109538096you're already supposed to read assembly when you write code in any compiled language if you actually care about making good software so why does it matter?>>109539198typical retard who bitch scream about muh memory issues and so on but REFUSE to turn on the compiler flags that every other language use.can you explain this behavior to me? why do you default back to grug when working with C? we have static analyzers and sanitizers, it's very easy to write safe C in 2026, use the fucking features, are you stupid enough to believe that if something isn't opt-out or mandatory then you don't need it? retard.you can safely ignore the morons at google and othe fagman who bitch about muh memory issues, these fucking companies exist thank to their C devs powering the actual infrastructures, I'm 100% certain that if we audited these companies and ranked who is most critical to business in them, C devs would rank first everytime.none of their gay ass toys like C#, python or js would exist if they didn't relay on C to build these things.
>>109538043I code in assembly cause it’s the only error free language
>>109538277yes>>109538282>UnityC# is just the gameplay programming part, the engine which does the heavy lifting is C++
>>109538105cargo is a rust tool, not a C one
>>109539354compiling d does not require a long command line to unfuck the compiler. neither does freepascal. and certainly not the assembler.
>>109539456game devs do not make engines, so it doesn't matter what engines were made in.
>>109538282And those frauds can't stop having leaks despite the garbage collector.
>>109539487>game devs do not make enginesgame engine dev is part of gamedev
>>109539643tell that to modern game devs. ^_^
>>109539471but C does, deal with it.ask you favorite AI to make the makefile for you.no one said C was on-par with modern alternatives with it comes to hand-holding, it does not change the fact that a modern C compiler has most of the things you need to write good code.
>>109539659oh silly me, of course it has burned my house down because I did not pass --do_not_burn_my_house_down argument when compiling!>deal with it.I prefer not to, and thar works in most cases.
>>109539457Rust is C with a borrow checker, but basically C. We must question the fundamentals of modern programming languages.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult
>>109538043because when i make the same program in python, it gets about a bajillion less fps
>>109539750false dichotomy. use luajit
>>109539679>I prefer not to, and thar works in most cases.don't worry, others will so the rest of the ecosystem won't disappear.>>109539731rust is the wrong kind of language for a building block as critical as first language after assembly to generate all the others.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cultC is a very powerful tool and some schizo have been screaming in our ears that we're doing programming wrong or something, who is part of a cult.>>109539750I know it's ironic posting but other ways to look at performance are>more work for the same power budget>less energy for the same targetC dominates efficiency with assembly, having more fps matters way less than being able to draw less energy for the same task.
>>109538043I'm learning C++ since it is the one language that rules them all. I don't want to learn multiple languages. Would rather just master 1.
>>109540463ironically that will take you longer as learning multiple languages works better if you want to learn all programming paradigms.
>>109540463Good luck using C++ for web. You'll have to learn other languages eventually.
lazy bait
>>109540501>ironically that will take you longerActually it won't because he'll learn the fundamentals which will propel him forward in anything he wants to learn in programming, as opposed to freestyling jeets who still don't understand anything after 30 years of 'programming' in 6 million meme languages.
>>109541009wrong. sticking to a single language is a good way to stay a baby duck or give up on programming altogether.
>>109539643game engines are like browser enginespeople occasionally make their own as a niche project, but for serious work you use the 1 or 2 major ones around. For game devs that's Unity and sometimes Godot
>>109538297Honk?
>>109538043People use C and C++ in order to do actual work for things that actually matter.I can see how you wouldn't understand this if your "job" is to maximize gambling and pornography ads served to children through some website for Mr. Goldberg.
>>109538043You do you think you are doing when concatenating two strings in Python?
>>109538043this dude is not only using c style strings in 2026 (why?) but also using strlen on a statically known string of which the length can be obtained at compile time with sizeof
>>109538043Stupidity compels them.
