'Don't write C in C++', they said

~~"It'll be fun", they said~~ Nah I'm just kidding.

So apparently John Carmack himself (former id Software employee and Oculus CTO) has said that he writes "C flavoured C++" and isn't a fan of modern programming styles with templates or anything, and considering how C++ is sort of a multi paradigm language, I want to hear your thoughts on this.

C and C++ are just monsters but in the good sense

Archaic monsters perhaps

I've just heard people say not to write C in C++

The only thing I used C++ for is operator overloading and sometimes templates, but templates kinda suck tbh

I hope to pick up Rust asap once I get my main project finished.

But that will be most likely in October.
