> But all this could be replaced by an abstract class, perhaps some templates... And if you disable stuff you may not need (RTTI, exceptions) then you'd get just as efficient compiled code. Isn't it just that your personal in-head GPT has been trained on C++ and wants to see it everywhere? It's not so easy to make very small embedded implementations and there's a reason after 25+ years C++ has not made inroads there. |

No, C++ is not even my programming language of predilection. Not sure why you would make assumptions about my background while knowing nothing about me. But I can recognize OOP patterns when I see them. There's even a book about that https://www.cs.rit.edu/~ats/books/ooc.pdf C-styled OOP is not a new concept. C++ just does it better.
The reason C++ has "not made inroads" may just be inertia, you know. And look at Arduino - if C++ code can run on an 8bit ATmega MCU, it can run anywhere. The whole language is designed around "pay for what you use and nothing else".
