That makes sense, but what is the material difference? Isn't it ultimately the same thing by a different name?

"Treat others how they wish to be treated, bearing in mind how you feel when you are mistreated" just doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way.

Introduces confusion how? Because it doesn't agree with the arbitrary convention you happened to grow up with? Why is your preferred convention not equally objectively bad? I thought Americans were supposed to be the egotists.

I'd love to hear what's objectively 'wrong' with this one. They're arbitrary symbols. If anything, isn't the decimal more akin to a full stop, while a digit separator is more of a pause?

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That's a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn't even a glimmer in Bjarne's eye when these conventions were laid down.

And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don't really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.

And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it's the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don't put up with.
