    I have decades of C++ experience. I have never met any C++ developer who hasn’t shot himself in the foot regularly with this damn language.

        And I fucking love it

        I hate java with a passion, C# was fun (but at that time only available through the .Net nightmare) and I grew up with (Turbo ;⁠-⁠)) Pascal and C

        So, I’m feeling rather comfortable and at home with C++

        I’d like to do a bigger project in Rust once at least, but with my current project already the compile times are between 20/25 to 45mins (depends, if you have the build server available or if you need to make up with the IPC).
        so, I guess, those iterations would become even longer with Rust

        But I’m also having the advantage, that my applications are running very, very isolated. So I don’t really need to take care about exposure and attacks.

        Still… Finding a memory leak or some shared memory fuck up is everything but fun…

        Especially as most of the logic runs in kernel space and debugging possibilities are mostly reduced to traces/log files

        Still, I love it
        Maybe it’s because of the thrill ;⁠-⁠)

      Haha, I hate the language. But as long as I don’t randomly want to use the Unreal Engine it’s really easy to avoid it

      But it’s the funniest language IMO, you can do frigging anything with it.

      Which is why it causes problems of course.
