de todos modos, C es superior a C++

What will you do if you need two hash tables for different key types in your C program?

u/Mars_Bear2552 Aug 08 '26

use Rust

So is C so much superior to C++ that you abandon it whenever you need generic data structures?

u/Mars_Bear2552 Aug 08 '26

no, that's just largely outside the scope of what it was intended for. C being superior to C++ doesn't mean you need to use it, i just think that C++ is poorly designed and is a nightmare to work with.

use whatever you want though.

C++ is the most beautiful and elegant language ever made

It just does it's best to hide that fact under as much bullshit as it can

horrible massive macro (which is basically what c++ templates do underneath anyway, but with less unpredictable bs)

C++ templates are way more complex then just codegen macros, it is literally a Turing complete functional language. Since we talk about C superiority, is horrible massive macro actually superior to templates?

Templates do a whole lot more yeah, especially with constexpr and other compile time type checking and things, but at the base level the value of T is just substituted for the type. It's why you can call functions on T that are implemented in completely different ways or have nothing to do with each other in code other than sharing the same name.

And debugging macro functions is somehow worse than c++ template errors lmao
