"Build your own Redis with Rust/Fortran"

If the author actually can't understand the difference between C and C++, there's a pretty low chance of any good code being in the book. If they do, they should keep an eye on the editor next time they go into empty marketing mode for the title.

I kid you not I once had a recruiter asking someone with experience in C/C+/C++

Not a typo for C#. He really wanted someone with experience in C+

I’ve lost count of the number of recruiters who shorten Javascript to Java. Those are not the same thing! Arghhhhh

[heywhatupboys]

[noncoml]

Maybe. Who knows what his client asked. To me he confirmed they were looking for C+…

> The code is written as direct and straightforwardly as the author could. It’s mostly plain C with minimal C++ features.

Sounds fair to me
