c to c++ isn’t really moving forward, it’s lateral, and i don’t mean that as a slight against c++ (for once, lol). same with 2d to 3d. turns out tim sweeny just says shit thinking we’re stupid, imagine that.
if he really knew anything, he would have said “c to rust,” which would have also been nonsense but it would have gotten a funnier reaction at least.
Thinking C++ is advanced C is like thinking C# is advanced Java. Even if they were really similar at a point, they’ve moved on and diverged into their own thing. Things don’t necessarily get better; more often than not they just change.
C# is a bad example. I’m happy it became its own thing over time and has since evolved in a different direction. But it was most definitely and unabashedly Microsoft’s Java clone at the start.
Idk if Sweeney is trying to pull one over on people he thinks are dumb. I’d believe that he thinks those are meaningful changes because he’s just a deluded twat.
It’s not an exoneration. I’m just not angry at him, only derisive.

2d->3d – bigger number
c -> c++ – two extra plusses (and plus already means extra!)
games -> epic games – it’s got “epic” in the name
You don’t have to be a genus to see these are all better!
I prefer the original name epic mega games

It was definitely a reply to Java but I’d argue it was very much Delphi/ObjectPascal with C syntax. Which makes sense with the language creator.
