Which is quite interesting for someone like me.<p>Around 1994 C++ seemed the path forward from Turbo Pascal, given that I favoured type safety, C was a meh when compared with Turbo Pascal, but Turbo Pascal was a PC only thing.<p>Back in those days C++ was regarded like Rust and other C++ wannabe replacements are nowadays.<p>We were the hipster of the 90&#x27;s, with C devs targeting home systems slowly accepting that not all functions needed to be inline Assembly wrappers.<p>So it is interesting for a grey beard like me to see C++ being described just like C and Pascal vs C++ compilers were back in the mid-90&#x27;s.<p>Nowadays my area of work is dominated by JVM, .NET and the native languages of mobile OSes.<p>I wish Bjarne et al succeed pushing &quot;C++ Core Guidelines&quot; forward, but they will not change the mentality of those that program C with C++ compiler, which is what I usually see at the typical corporations.
