They aren't a grand authority, but they maintain a huge amount of C++ code
- mempko 4y agoC++ code using their flavor of strange guidelines... Google C++ is not how the rest of the world writes C++.
- bfrog 4y agoRight, every org and individual has their own subset of c++ they use and exclude. C++ may have standards but that hardly matters when projects/orgs/individuals have their own variant of the language that is used. It’s a fallacy to think that there’s some idiomatic C++, there isn’t in practice.
- deviantbit 4y agoNot more than Microsoft.
- smt88 4y agoMicrosoft has also officially and unofficially started replacing C++ with Rust.
- pjmlp 4y agoSo far it looks like experiments, besides a few projects like Azure Sphere SDK, Azure IoT (C# and Rust), and Rust/WinRT (which is even worse than C++/WinRT in regards to tooling in its current state, no authoring support for COM or VS integration). Office and Windows teams love C++ and COM too much to use anything else.
