alt Hacker NewsThey even downvote people who suggest C++ :-). Doing this in C is such a colossal waste of time and energy, not to mention the bugs it'll introduce. Sigh!

Trolling about the choice of implementation language from a throwaway account is worth downvotes, yes. Doing a given task in a given language, simply for the sake of having it done in that language, is a legitimate endeavour, and having someone document (from personal experience) why it's difficult in that language is real content worth discussion. Choosing a better language is very much not a goal here.

Following that argument, c++ is also a colossal waste of time and energy and bugs when compared with Rust :D.
