   It's a bit of a struggle, and I've been using C++ since '92. My problem is I haven't used C++23 yet. But I'll give my best guess. You might want to skip to the end of my comment and then work backwards. ;) The first

   I quite like the option of being able to program in a more functional style in C++. If you have the cycles to spare, or a sufficiently smart compiler and it allows you to say more with fewer keystrokes and better readability then why no

    I too was interested in that watch. The software looks a bit fancier than my PineTime. It turns out that the PineTime is actually amazing based on battery life alone. It currently costs ~US$27. It's slightly less chunky (37.5mm x 40mm
