I am getting tired of this "modern" attribute (nothing against the parent comment) attached to everything in the new standard. There is nothing modern about the new features of C++11/14, yet the proponents of the "modern style" behave as if they just discovered sliced bread. I was hoping that the C++ community was above this.
- sjolsen 12y ago> There is nothing modern about the new features of C++11/14 There's nothing modern about any feature that's been introduced into a popular programming language in years. They're all rediscoveries or minor iterations on things invented decades ago. It's usually not the features that are described as being "modern," though. It's the style that's described that way, and there is a marked difference between the style of, well, modern C++ code and the style of C++ code written in the '90s.
