I enjoyed the commenter asking “Why did they pick such arcane stuff as this?” - I don’t think I touch more arcane stuff than shell, so asking why shell used something that is arcane relative to itself is to me arcane squared.
I love myself a little bit of C++. A good proprietary C++ codebase will remind you that people just want to be wizards, solving their key problem with a little bit of magic.
I've only ever been tricked into working on C++...
