Some men go professional boxing; other join the army. Some choose C++

If you work on the things I do, suggesting that there is a viable alternative to C++ is ridiculous.

I’d love to write everything in Python & Rust, personally, but it’s just not a viable option for many types of projects.

With the smallest amount of self discipline, C++ is safe, expressive, maintainable, cross platform, and interoperable.

I rather like that it’s not forcing training wheels on my every statement and condescendly telling me what I’m allowed to do.

Of course, it means that code from the article’s example is possible. You can write code like a sloppy asshole in any language. Don’t blame the scissors if someone decides to start running while holding a pair.
