The person I responded to said that "they expected everyone to jump on the bandwagon and abandon all their legacy code".
That's not even close to what Rob Pike wrote on his blog.
- UncleEntity 2y agoPerhaps the reason they didn't see many C++ coders is because of this?
- sapiogram 2y agoBecause of what?
- pjmlp 2y agoRob Pike literally wrote that, as the OP points out. What part of "Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative" isn't clear enough?
- sapiogram 2y agoNothing about that implies re-writing legacy code.
- pjmlp 2y agoNeither does this remark > I feel like languages like Go and Rust didn’t become C++ killers because they expected everyone to jump on the bandwagon and abandon all their legacy code Abandon is not a synonymous with rewrite, last time I checked a dictionary.
