Very excited to be able to use both ranges and concepts soon.
I started writing C++ just before the 2011 standard and it’s been fun to follow and use the improvements over the last 8 years. I can’t imagine how different the language will look (after the 2020 standard) to the eyes of veteran C++ devs. It must already feel like a completely different language.
- mark-r 8y agoYes, it does feel like a completely different language. The sample code in the article is nearly unreadable to this C++ veteran. And based on the verbosity of the result I'm not sure it's an improvement.
- a1studmuffin 8y agoI have to agree. Pumping out C++ revisions every 3 years means I can no longer assume a game written in C++ will port relatively painlessly from one C++-compatible platform to another, as it all depends on which C++ standard is supported by the platform SDK/toolset I'm forced to use.
