I have not written production C++ in over 5 years. For those of you who are still in the trenches with C++, do you view this as an improvement?
Put another way... Which would you view as the better engineering investment: refactoring/rewriting code with these new models of C++ --or-- investing in porting to a managed environment such as C# or Python or <insert language here>?
I confess I'm a purist. I miss Good Old Fashioned C++. This feels like lipstick on a pig. Actually, it's worse than that. It feels like my 60 year old mother trying to dress up in skimpy clothes intended for teenage girls. I just wish she would accept who she is.
- mcot 15y agoI'm going the other way. Coming from Java/Python and having studied C/C++ briefly, this looks like a huge improvement and something I would actually use for a production project. Hopefully in a few years time there will be more videos/books/tutorials that further explain how to use C++ in this way.
- aespinoza 15y agoI actually stopped working with C++ like 5 years ago. But after the new improvements I am also interested. I have been working so much on Java and C# projects that going back to the bare metal could be good. Still I don't know if these changes came in too late. I don't imagine myself working in a full C++ project anymore. Lately I have been more interested in Erlang for performance and concurrency. I used to turn to C++ for that.
