Is there a book like “C++ for C++ programmers” for people that knew C++ 20 years ago but didn’t keep up with the latest features?

My go-to for this is "A Tour of C++". It's pretty short and only really covers up to C++17 with a few mentions of C++20.

Modern Effective C++ by Scott Meyers is my go to for people in this situation. I'm not sure if there's an even more recent edition that covers C++17 and C++20, but C++11/14 is definitely a great head start over C++03 and earlier.

  I can second Effective Modern C++: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-modern-c/9781491908419/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/effective-modern-c/9781... The most amazing thing about it is how it manages to be so entertaining to read (the last thing I expected from a C++ textbook and a thing that made getting through it way easier)! >I'm not sure if there's an even more recent edition that covers C++17 and C++20 Sadly, there is not.

There are lots of good CppCon sessions you could watch. Unfortunately, they're not in the form of a comprehensive book. Maybe you should try Bjarne Stroupstrup's "Tour of C++": https://www.stroustrup.com/tour2.html https://www.stroustrup.com/tour2.html which might fit the bill. It doesn't go very far in depth, though. 240 pages.

Isn't that what the linked website is for? https://www.cppstories.com/p/start-here/ https://www.cppstories.com/p/start-here/

For C++0x I found the Wikipedia article on C++0x back in the day to be a good summary. That might still hold.

Wouldn't call recursive lambdas a feature, more like 4chan for C++ devs
