I remember when this book was a 12-page polemic vainly ginning up arguments for limiting use of any language features newer than C++03. I thought it had been rightfully abandoned. Instead it hypertrophied as all Lakos work does.
Anything starting from that premise was bound to lead nowhere good.
The 1300-page size will anyway help limit its influence, just as has the gross inflation of Lakos's other output.
- SuperV1234 4y agoIt is now obvious you have no intention of discussing the technical merits or drawbacks of the material in the book. It is also obvious you hold a grudge against Lakos and/or Bloomberg for whatever reason. Guess your crusade of spamming "please don't buy this book" without providing any concrete arguments is the way you present your grudge to the world. Well, if you ever change your mind and intend on providing constructive feedback, feel free to let me know. I'm also happy to have a call and discuss what could be improved in the book for future editions. Cheers.
- ncmncm 4y agoCutting it to 200 pages, discarding the filler, would be a good start. Nobody needs a grudge against Lakos, he generates his own opposition. (You know it is true.)
- SuperV1234 4y agoHave you actually read the book? There's barely any "filler". Cutting it down to 200 pages would mean sacrificing a massive amount of useful content.
