> On a side note, I can't help feeling sorry for the people that advocate for C over C++ when I see commits like https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/commit/121575febe8aa1b544fbcb...

To be fair, I/O is a place where C++ really dropped the ball, too. The part of the C++ library is unfortunately a complete mess. This is not really a “win” for C++ as much as it is a failure for both languages.

I think it is hard to advocate for either C or C++, for greenfield projects, these days.

I really hoped someone will help get rid of Putin from inside RU by this moment (I believe there are plenty of who may not necessary love him). EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.

Nationalism is one hell of a drug.

And perhaps naive of us to assume that the war in Ukraine is a product only of this one man and his ideas and/or party. Unfortunately Russia seems unusually united in this "operation."

EDIT: don't usually complain about downvotes, but WTH people, what did I say that's controversial? Seems some people think this is somehow pro-Russian? It's not.

In a way I'm surprised the language standard for C hasn't been extended to have a standardized RAII "hook" concept?

I don't think it's that far outside of the core language philosophy. Though it would take years for it to make it through to all toolchains and actually be adopted.

Do you see the contradiction? ;-)

For some people, “invisible” function calls are the devil incarnated and against the alleged C philosophy of “what you see is what you get”.

Arguably a compromise would be that you still have to write the resource-freeing calls explicitly, but the compiler would verify that you didn’t forget them. On the other hand, that’s what linters could already do.

For normal citizens it means to risk own death. The people who think this way would rather leave the country.

For oligarchs and elites, yes only putting complete economic lockdown could work. No way to travel and buy yourself or your kids comfy western way of life.

Unfortunately sanctions are lax. Eg. Putin's wife lives in EU just fine I think. The people hurt mainly are regular citizens, I have a buddy who cannot open a bank acc in EU because of some evil namesake on top. Whereas oligarchs are fine, if you have money the banks are open to you worldwide. And even if sanctions were stricter crypto laundering now undermines all of them. Quite depressing this all
