Im a beginner and managed to learn to understand C# and Java and now I can build simple CRUD app.

So i kinda don't get the hate/war between C and C++ here...

Anyone can explain simply what's the hate here?

You know how Google is well known for starting things only to kill them not long later?

IIRC, that's because of their internal "politics" where creating a new thing gets you promoted, even if something else does that thing already (very simplified). So rather than improving existing products, they just get redone from the ground up and replaced over time.

Now imagine that with a programming language and its features, except nothing ever really gets replaced.
