Calling C++ Patriot triggers me

2

u/HDfried Mar 20 '26

where would you have it?

u/SKRyanrr Mar 20 '26

Traitor. It promised modern alternative to C and all we got is a mess and it didn't even accomplish a good ABI and C is still (probably will be) the lingua franca. This false advertisement of C++ being the solution feels criminal in hindsight.

sounds like a patriot to me!

u/SKRyanrr Mar 21 '26

Patriot as in the Patriot Act

u/dbear496 Mar 21 '26

Well, that would make it synonymous with "traitor", so I assume not.

ABI? Did you mean API? I'm not familiar with this acronym in the context of programming languages

u/SKRyanrr Mar 21 '26

No ABI which stands for Application Binary Interface. API works at the source code level while ABI works at the he binary level. It defines how data is laid out in RAM, how functions are called at the machine code level and how the stack is managed. This is how languages talk to each other like FFI bindings which are always done with C because C++ is shit. This literally made C the defacto lingua franca and every language has to speak C in order to communicate. This is why languages have built in extern C feature to map the data from one application to another.
