Hey /g/, let's talk modern c++.
I used to be a smug c programmer who was convinced that c++ was just a bunch of bloat. However, after looking at the new features of the language, I've determined that opinion was wrong. Here's why:
* move semantics
* type inference
* lvalues/rvalues
* lambda expressions, and the control given to the programmer to determine how to capture the lambda's parent scope
* polymorphic STL is unbelievably extendable and robust
* robust and modern libraries that have been developed by the likes of Facebook and Google that support modern web development
Yeah, you can emulate this stuff in C, but it will take significantly more LoC, and the compiler won't be on your side. It's a lot easier to write a robust and modern application in C++ than C today.
What are your thoughts, /g/?
C++ 11 + STL is very nice and very modern but with that syntaxis the code sometimes become hard to read, for desktop apps on linux or windows i prefer c++ over C# or Java because is harder to reverse engineer the native code , i dont have the same helps or libraries ,still a good option though

I basically share most John Blows opinions on this topic, though I use modern features when they actually make sense.

What have you made and published? Anything?
>>52213194
i wish whey would have added an std network library. It would have made life so much easier.

I wish they would have added sane modules and a good package manager first.

true dat

>C++ finally catching up with Rust

Agree with this nigger
>>52213987
So much this

Rust has been positively influencing C++, but C++ has an advantage in terms of existing libraries, momentum, industry support, and community.
