@delroth @p4 @lina C isn't a difficult language ... to memorize. In actual use the C++ that C programmers hate so much is massively simpler (as is Rust and every other higher level language.) Which isn't to say C++ is good, it inherits all of C's flaws and adds some, but many C programmers seem to take pride in using the least capable tool that is at all practical in what feels like a mix of elitism and toxic masculinity.
