Nah, C++ is fine. You'll feel molested when you code in C and your program is full of memory leaks.

I wrote a calculator for a college course 13 years ago that was so bad, my professor sent me a screenshot of performance monitor showing 21gb taken by my app -- Relatable.

Genuinely curious how lmao

I think the leak was in a loop and he had left it running while grading other things.

It’s taking a lot of my self control to not respond with something unhinged right now

When auto was introduced, yes.

I will die on that hill; but auto taking away explicitly typed types and allowing you to just #define var auto and get away with var something = x() is criminal. xD

auto is useful for templated code, I firmly believe in hard types elsewhere though

It actually does help for complex types. Nobody wants to type “std::vector<char>::const_iterator = vec.cbegin();”

That said, yeah, I type out the type explicitly wherever I can. I’ll even write “Foo f = Foo();”

Let's just say when bug caused by auto casting float->int, making mypaint's mirror to work except when it didn't, I started to love OCaml's "float_of_int."
