C++ is a mixed bag for me. The abstractions it provides is really nice; I can just use the stdlib and it works without having to worry about safety as much (and the convenience). On the other hand some features make it miserable to read and try to understand what some code is actually supposed to do. I typically use C++ over C but mostly just write C with some of the C++ features to get the best of both languages. :c_language: :cpp_language:

@fsf Happy Birthday GNU! While I was not alive when the GNU project started in 1983 it’s still crazy to think how long the FreeSoftwareFoundation has been around. The fsf has done so much to help me and several others transition from proprietary software to free software alternatives that respect the user. Here’s to 40 years and many more years to come!
