I used to program a lot in C++ but switched to a number of different programming languages since then. Everything in C++ is this way and it’s hard to understand that things don’t have to be this way when you’re in the trenches of C++.

I distinctly remember what a breath of fresh air it was to switch to Java and then later C# where in both languages an "int" is the only 32-bit signed integer type, instead of hundreds of redefinitions for each library like ZLIB_INT32 or whatever.

Now you can enjoy native ints on C#, as they improved C# for low level coding tasks.
