The C++ standard standardizes existing practice; it's not a place for innovation.
- mmoll 3y agoHuh? Who says so?
- jeroenhd 3y agoThe people writing the C++ standard seem to disagree.
- mgaunard 3y agoI have been part of the C++ standards committee for 13 years.
- jeroenhd 3y agoYour comment has led me down a rabbit hole regarding the C++ standards commission and corrected various misconceptions I've held for a while. You're right and I've made a fool of myself. My apologies.
- nurettin 3y agoYou really did not. Common practice and innovation are the same thing. Look at lambdas. Then polymorphic lambdas. Then async. Then modules. Innovation is obviously getting in. Parent commenter was being a pedant. Doesn't matter if he's stroustrup himself.
