@0xabad1dea I love preprocessor macros in principle but wow do they get super annoying to track down when you're reading someone else's codebase.

@gsuberland @0xabad1dea The problem is that macros are mostly used as band-aids for things that C really should do natively but can't. My C code is plastered with macros, but I don't think I have ever written one that couldn't reasonably have been replaced with functionality already present in other languages.

@gsuberland @0xabad1dea still easier to track down than templates and inheritance …
