That's a C test not a C++ test. And I wouldnt call it a good measure on actual ability to write in the language.

Is vanilla C even really used much anymore?

It still has some uses especially for low level stuff. Most OS' are written in C. And so are most interpreters. The standard python interpreter is actually called cpython and is written in C. I actually had a old roommate who pretty much exclusively used C

So many of the security vulnerabilities that decimate infrastructures could be prevented if we just stopped using C. It sucks. Stop it.


To be fair to the language, there are tons of compilers that write perfectly safe C code. :P But yeah, a lot of these kinds of vulnerabilities are protected against automatically or not applicable in more modern languages.
