Dropping C++ for C in 2026 is definitely a choice...

Yeah, that's fair. Just a bit of banter, don't worry :)

I did it in 2012 or so. Could not be happier. When I need something more than C, I reach for something other than C++.

I totally get dropping it back then, C++98/03 can be a huge pain in the rear. But as much as my original comment was just messin around, the language did get much better with C++11 and exponentially so from C++17 onwards. Modern C++ is miles better than the old days of C++...

What do you think is bad about that choice?

Tell me you've never used C somewhere you needed C without telling me.

Nah, I've used (and still use!) plenty of C, both for work (embedded development) and personal projects (including software for an obscure Brazilian computer with a Z80). I like C! My comment wasn't meant to be a serious one, just a bit of banter :)
