It's a shame then that nobody in the world fully understands C++.
Having a “small language like C” doesn’t do anything besides move the complexity to application code and hide those details from the compiler. In fact, with sophisticated optimizing compilers and linkers, it’s impossible to predict what any random snippet of code in a large project is transformed into, assuming it exists at all in the final binary.
Yet they keep forgetting it equally relates to all mainstream languages older than 20 years in production.
I bet no one would manage a pub quiz regarding any of them, if the questions were honestly based on the language complete history, thus not fully understanding them either.
