hamidr | 12 years ago | on: C++ has become a scripting language

The thing is in ruby you are already in main method so there's no need to declare main function as an entry point. The main reason that the c++ version the code is longer has some historical/performance related issues! In c++11 it could've been with smaller standard library at design but that could break the old codes! Although obviously, "Little code =! Better code". What you want to achieve is actually more important. Btw, C++ as a scripting language? at first you might think that way but truly that's a big lie :)

That's fun. Cause I remember this "x+++y;" as a question in one of my university entrance exams!

hamidr | 13 years ago

Yes, Indeed.

hamidr | 13 years ago | on: Why is there no C11 hype?

While projects like linux(kernel) or gcc compiler still use c98 as their default standard. why would it? Also M$ in its IDE doesn't care that much about c99.
