Why Aren't There C Conferences?

It's like how they have hamburger restaurants, where you can ask for a hamburger without the pickle, instead of having hamburger without pickle restaurants. C is the burger, bacon, bun, lettuce, tomato, onions and sauces, and ++ is the pickle.

I think you swapped the complexity that each language provides. If C is anything, it's the patty, and C++ literally everything else that makes up the burger.

"Oh, you wanted mayo on your burger? We can do that, but you also have to have mustard. Don't worry, you won't have to pay for it.. but it's going to be in there."

On the other hand, with C you get the mustard on your burger because there was already some the plate and no one bothered to clean it.

As if C didn't come with features nobody wanted. At least C11 half dropped VLAs again.
