That's basically only useful as a stack variable, though, which was my point. Well, that and "immutable" in the context of C++ is misleading. It was on topic because I am saying the C++ boilerplate wouldn't really be better than the Go boilerplate. All the "out of context" details are basically my point. You need to know a lot of surprising things to C++ well.
