On the one side I really like c and c++ because theyβre fun and have great performance; they donβt feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).
On the other hand, when weighing oneβs feelings against the common good, I guess itβs not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?
If such tooling was available, why isnβt it being used by the projects for whom it matters
Oh, my dear, sweet, summer child. Welcome to capitalism, and the rule of βgood enough.β Static code analysis tools cost money, and take time to run. Iβve yet to work at a company that didnβt have a documented process for entirely bypassing QA in urgent situations; although, when I contracted with the USFS, they were much more reluctant to cut corners - that was under a Democrat president; when Republicans took charge, they cut a lot of things, including software quality controls.
But - as I said - I havenβt touched C in decades, so I canβt refute your claim that such tools donβt exist.
