- pjmlp 7y agoIt looks quite modern to me, specially given what some people are fighting to get into ISO C++, or what other languages offer on their standard libraries.
- Jasper_ 7y ago... don't remind me of that proposal, lol. I think it's finally dead, and admitted it was a complete and utter failure of LEWG to let it get as far as it did [0]. Unfortunately, we now have "diet graphics", which consists of stuffing WebKit into C++ and calling it a day [1], so, looking forward to where that goes!
