bunbunit hates trying to understand c++
reading clang source code makes it feel insane, why is it written like this, who hurt these programmers
skategoat 🐐 🇵🇸@brainlessbitch if you had to describe that style in a few words, how would you describe it?
solo@brainlessbitch normal C++ is like, fine, but then some people write the most dogshit C++ imagineable
@solonovamax in its experience, most c++ programmers do the latter
@brainlessbitch I mean, I manage to write good C++ code (I hope)
mainly because I:
- enable
-Wall -Werror - try to use some of the more modern C++ features like smart pointers and
auto - LISTEN TO MY FUCKING IDE WHEN IT SHOWS ME WARNINGS
@brainlessbitch I genuinely don't think it's that hard to make your code not dogshit
just listen to the compiler and don't do things in the dumbest way imagineable
@brainlessbitch like it's just a handful of tiny things you need to do
I just started writing C++ code less than a year ago and already write better C++ code than people who have been writing it for ≥5 years
@solonovamax it's not even people not listing to compiler diagnostics, there are more just these design patterns that it sees a lot of (generally) larger c++ projects use that make the code significantly harder to digest
