@SortOfTested And RTTI?

@NickyBones
Would assume you'd want to build a manager reflection cache and structural analyzer to handle that. Pointers pointers everywhere. No one ever said it was a good idea 😝 -
@SortOfTested It's a bad idea to point that saying "everything you can do with C++, you can do with C (and endless agony)" is no longer valid, or sane.

@NickyBones
Sane people easily discriminate between novelty and utility. The rest, they can suffer until they recover. -
@NickyBones always remember. Everything you can do in C/C++, C#, Java, Python and so on. You can do in machine code. I don't want to work with you if you do so. BUT you can

@KDSBest I actually did quite some assembly coding 😂 Don't hold it against me though, we didn't have other choices :)

@KDSBest remember anything you can do in assembly yoy can do in binary.
After getting fed up of “being productive” I fooled around on GitHub and had a look at the Stuxnet virus source code which was obtained using a decompiler. Experts who reverse-engineered it found out that it was written in “object-oriented C.” While C is not an object oriented language, anything you can do with classes you can do with structs, static functions, pointers & function pointers. You can see this coding style in the Linux kernel, CPython interpreter and many other places. That was the first indication that a government agency or defence industry was responsible. Amazing stuff !
