Looks like someone fell for the C abstract machine trap yet again. No, C is isn’t an abstraction of the machine.

This is not the gotcha you think it is. Nobody that has used C++ in a non-trivial setting would regurgitate that Stroustrup quote unironically. C++, much like Powershell, is a warcrime of a language.
I'll give it up to Powershell though, it actually had some good ideas... albeit with awful execution. Can't say the same about C++.

By all means, write some Go instead—you might want to order a new `if err != nil` button to stave off the RSI. The rest of us are trying to make things better.

None of this is surprising, YC is as incestuous as the rest of the industry. Still, it’s worth calling out. This submission will likely be nuked, too.

Re:Protobuffers Are Wrong
on Friday September 05, 2025 @12:16PM (#45140266)
i used protobuffers a lot at $previous_job and i agree with the entire article. i feel the author’s pain in my bones. protobuffers are so awful i can’t imagine google associating itself with such an amateur, ad hoc, ill-defined, user hostile, time wasting piece of shit.
the fact that protobuffers wasn’t immediately relegated to the dustbin shows just how low the bar is for serialization formats.
