I am not against it. It is a different language altogether though. We were talking about "fixing" C++ while it is still being C++.
- int_19h 4y agoAs it happens, C++ has already adopted "auto f() -> T" function declaration syntax many years ago in addition to "T f()", so this is arguably just a more streamlined take on that. I don't see how it makes it less C++, since conceptually everything is the same.
