A-ha, better languages my ass. They may make some specific job easier, but calling them good just because of that - nuh-uh. I would (and actually will) rather spend time learning to properly use C or C++

I call them better because C leave security holes in everything it touches.

Nothing a Valgrind pass can't solve. A surprisingly number of developers I've met have never heard of this tool, surprisingly, which is probably one of the reasons why people advocate for Rust. Can't really protect against developer ignorance without a strict language.

Doesn't matter, the Eu and US and others will make it irrelevant before anyone new has a chance to learn it.

I like your optimism (really mean this)

And good luck to them (sarcasm)

They are called easter eggs and they are a feature.
