I think the author was mostly referring to meta programming / templates. You have to admit, they can get pretty obscure sometimes. I agree, lambdas simplify

  Right, but there's nothing "modern" about templates. Those have been a disaster for compile times forever. C++98 with no Boost is an awful language that nobody should want to go back to. It's one where you could legitimately prefer C99, despite its lack of RAII and other conveniences. Actual modern C++ is a great language to write, though the compile times haven't really improved.

    Given the position that system quality is directly proportional to frequency of testing, in what ways can a C++ project from-the-ground-up mitigate compile times and be reactive to change?
