> Imagine needing to announce your "departure" from a community.
The exact same thing jumped out at me. Does anyone know if the author is a particularly well known or influential member of the C++ community?
- its_bbq 5y agoThey were around. I remember that Izzy was a part of the conversation around modules for example.
- Jare 5y agoI haven't done any C++ in nearly a decade and I know who she is, I have read some of her articles and listened to her in a podcast or two.
- chrsig 5y agoI can't speak to their well-known-ness or influence, but they're definitely one of my favorite cppcon speakers[0] The community is lessened by their departure [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7THzO-D0ta4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7THzO-D0ta4
- secondcoming 5y agoMaybe Strousoup was showing disgust at the words written on the t-shirt?
- chrsig 5y agoWhat makes you suggest that?
- secondcoming 5y agoThere is at least one profanity written on it.
- chrsig 5y agoAnd that warrants looks of disgust?
- secondcoming 5y agoFor some people it would seem so.
- dw-im-here 5y agoWild to think that someone who reads C++ all day would wince at written profanity
- bigbillheck 5y agoThat video's from 2017, the snub was 2015.
- junon 5y agoContributing to the spec, creating a very widely used set of CMake utilities, and being a widely enjoyed speaker not enough for you? With the condescending airquotes and demeaning comment, one might think you had done some research. Clearly you hadn't. A Google search can tell you all of this.
- csmpltn 5y ago> "Contributing to the spec, creating a very widely used set of CMake utilities, and being a widely enjoyed speaker not enough for you?" No, this is clearly not enough to get shit accepted into the C++ standard. As evident by the fact that none of OP's ideas made it into the standard. Why should any of that matter? I'm sure OP is not alone here, by the way. I submit there must be thousands of amazing ideas proposed by amazing people that don't end up being accepted into the standard for a myriad of reasons. Get over it.
