Lmao. Absolute perfection. Software that exists has way more value.

Not when that software and the ecosystem around it, which are entrenched, actively fight against change.

If you think that's not true, C++ programmers, raise your hand if you were ever working on/contributing to a C program and you proposed C++ as a safer/better language and got shot down.

So even C++ is facing the same kind of challenges now faced by newer programming languages.

Couldn't agree more with this.
