When I saw "C++17 and Rust are bad" I assumed it would be written in C89. I'm used to that kind of bad take.
But it's actually written in C++. There isn't a Makefile, just make.sh. And in there, I don't see the C++ standard specified. I'm guessing g++ defaults to C++98.
So that really makes you think. suckless means C++, but not the convenient parts like type inference. Not the safe parts like unique_ptr. A language with inheritance _and_ all of C's footguns.

What a head-scratcher. Excellent outsider art.
