yet another programming languages flame war
Wednesday Sep 12, 2007
There's a flame war on C vs. C++ programming languages recently on GIT development newsgroup: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/57643/focus=57918. Dmitry Kakurin asked why not C++ for GIT, then Linus replied with "C++ is a horrible language". It's not surprised that most of the GIT developers are in favour of C, we can see many analysis of the drawbacks for each language though. Walter Bright also mentioned about programming language D, and described what D is trying to achieve and how it does.
Some interesting statements:
- As I said, it's a matter of believes. As such, any reasoning and arguing will be endless and pointless, as for any other religious issue. -- Dmitry Kakurin
- The only really important part is the *design*. -- Linus Torvalds
- A design is perfect not when there is no longer anything you can add to it, but if there is no longer anything you can take away. -- David Kastrup
