With all due respect to you and the Gentleman in question, I don’t think I will.

A wilderness survival instructor once told me: “There’s about fifty things in this area of the forest that’ll get you high as a kite, but assuming you survive it, most of them will make you wish you hadn’t.”

Good luck trying to swallow enough for that though.

Yeah. I kept reducing my sane “C with classes” subset until I just ended up back writing C99 too, and just about the only difference that made for my use case was better compilation times. If I ever need more than that, I’ll likely reach for Zig or C3 before C++.
