Kindof. Almost no standard library but it does use namespaces. (almost) no templates. Lots of pointers and arrays. Lots of explicit begin/end or push/pop functions instead of more idiomatic solutions like RAII/scope guards etc. va_ macros instead of variadic templates or fold expressions.

Also while ImGUI is great and the guy follows good coding practices - it's not at all what I would recommend for learning C++. Not only is it technically not C++, but the problem it solves (GUI-Framework and immediate on top) leads to some pretty hard to follow code with a lot of hidden global state.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

It's a simple API, that's for sure. But it's pretty consistent in itself and obviously is trivial to build abstractions upon. Also makes it easy to port to other languages.

That sounds like uniformly bad code.

Thanks that’s a great explanation
