> I've heard horror stories where each member of a team uses it's own subset but practically for many years of dealing with C++ I do not feel I ever had problems when I had to work with other programmers. I feel the technical lead should be catching these problems during code reviews, and establishing best practices, etc. Also this problem exists in other languages, perhaps elevated slightly in C++, but until rust came along it was 1 of 2 choices you had for certain problems (C being the other obvs.). Speaking of rust I thing the jury is still out on whether it can catch up with C++ in terms of popularity.
