They're called "computers" for a reason.

Thanks for your answer. Call me old-fashioned, but I actually think the separate compilation model is a good thing: it makes it possible to delegate the build process to a mostly language agnostic tool, and to mix languages easily (C, C++,

No need to be rude! Let's get this straight: I'm not advocating for the preprocessor here. I will happily put it in the trashbin where it belongs as soon as I have support for modules in C++ (By the way, 90% of the code I write is

There's no such thing as downloading a random installer from a random website, and then running it with administrative priviledges!

> I don't agree on the general usage of "using namespace std", so that part does not bother me. It should: we're comparing to Rust, whose namespace system seems very similar to a "using namespace std".

by Ace17 11y ago
If you want to compare the verbosity of both languages, why not use 'using namespace std' ? Why write: > std::vector<unsigned> counts; counts.resize(sevens.size()); When you can write: > auto counts = vector<unsigne

The success/failure of a project hinges on lots of things. Amongst them, code quality, which heavily dictates your reactivity. Having a technically-blind management isn't going to work, especially if it leads to policies like &quo

Experience has taught me that C++ compilers generally don't agree on the code they will accept: incomplete implementation of the standard (Visual C++ 2010 partial C++11 support), different non-standard header files (string.h vs memory.

Not if you intent your code to be portable.

To me, garbage collection is a hack, trying to workaround the fact that we don't know how to deal with ownership. This is something Rust and C++ get right (unique_ptr, the whole Rust ownership system), and I would definitely prefer D b

I use D for almost everything I do. A lot of the cool stuff being integrated in modern C++ has been present in D for ages ('enum class', 'string_view', 'constexpr', 'auto', ...) ... D has a real modul

Actually, as a decoder implementer, I found that having the C source code of a reference decoder (libvpx), whose behaviour is authoritative over any text document, actually made things a lot more easy. Because now, whenever you ask yourself

There's a public RFC, but it's by no means usable as a bitstream spec. There's an official text document describing the bitstream format (several hundreds pages), but it's under NDA. We use it at work, and getting an upd

Great game, thank you!

Simplicity of a programming language, and simplicity of programs written in it are two very different beasts. I understand funny things happening under the hood (garbage collection) might not look attractive ; However you can't require

Of course not. In my understanding, the article was about static type checking, though.

I don't get it. Is it just about rediscovering std::array?

A lot of things from Modern C++ Design now are part of the C++ standard library.

So I have this big chunk of legacy C++ code, I don't want to rewrite it, because it's a huge horrible mess and I don't have the source code of all its dependencies anyway. So I'm gonna compile it to native code and run i

You might be surprised when you try it. Emscripten probably is the most reliable route, and also the most secure (Javascript VM sandboxing, which you don't have with native CGIs). If your C++ code doesn't directly use system APIs
