Yes, and a cp or ls clone isn’t that meaningful to stick GPL to.

MIT/GPL is fine for smaller tools.

I personally think that C++ can be beautiful. For example: std::filesystem::path overrides the / operator, for specifying parent paths. It’s the same as Kotlin’s OKIO and Pythons standard pathlib.

void main(){...} is not in the standard, but works on both MSVC and GCC (with warnings). I think it works on both C/C++, but you really shouldn’t use it in production. Just use int main(void){...} , without any return value, which is permitted in the standard, and will return success iirc.

Any void main(){...} enjoyers?

Debian’s pretty good, but you can always use RHEL with a free account too
