funny, but false.

the only sense in which the relationship between C & C++ is like that of a cybertruck to a bicycle is the one in which the latter are "transportation devices" and the former are "programming languages". there is no particular feature of a bicycle represented by a cybertruck other than "it gets you somewhere".

Yes, that's literally the point I was making.

Sure, but it's wrong. There's a ton of features of C present in C++. You might not like the C++ context they are present in, but it's nothing at all like the cybertruck/bicycle (non)relationship.
