My primary problem is that it's convention rather than rule.
I agree, and thus I think it's safe to assume we also hate the lack of encapsulation in Python despite technically being an OOP language.
Just don't use C if you can avoid it ;)
I'm fine with C, and if I stop coding in C I would starve since my job depends on it, still thanks for the suggestion though! ;)
I know, but I didn't make the meme anyway, so 🤷♀️
