Something like MISRA C ?
1 comments

Yeah, it's alway funny to see the reaction of fresh-from-the-mill CS-academics when they have to code in an MISRA regulated project for the first time. Around half of them quits after a month because they are unable to write 100 lines of working code without some babysitter (aka. garbage collector) cleaning up behind them.

C++ started out as a great 'next generation C', but in the last years it became a playfield for CS-academics, just adding one useless esotheric feature after each other.
