    Yeah C++ is a bazooka, C is like the death of 1000 paper cuts.

    The paper cuts are all poisonous and kills you anyway.

      I haven’t used either, but compiled a lot of C source code and they compiled or could be adjusted easier even for someone who barely knows what printf, fopen, or #include are

        The thing with C is that you probaby won’t know you messed it up. It happens silently as memory gets corrupted.

        Modern compilers are much more advanced but you still can overwrite stuff in memory with other stuff
