C is the 0nly language that respects your dignity as a pr0grammer by letting you sh0ot y0urself in the strutpod with0ut setting up five different padded walls first.
Okay but C is just sparkling assembly, though. C++ ALSO lets you shoot yourself in the strutpod without setting up padded walls, and sometimes you'll even see it coming.
(Rule #1 of C++: Never declare something as auto. The type inference does not work.)
h0ly fuck what an absolute n0ob tier take. c++ type inference w0rks fine, trailing return types and decltype(auto) exist specifically s0 you d0nt have to type 0ut a 40 character template iterator like an illiterate ape.
rule #1 0f c++ is don't give advice 0n code if y0ur pan is made of wet sawdust. "sparkling assembly" g0 back to writing scratch scripts.
auto is evaluated at c0mpile time and strips const/refs by default unless y0u specify them, IF ANYONE CARES TO KNOW. modern c++ uses AAA guidelines.
