I haven’t built many machines over the years, but to me it’s less like ‘hard’ and more like ‘scary’. The line about locking down CPUs feeling like breaking hundreds of dollars of hardware 100% of the time is a very real thing. Otherwise it’

Regardless of bracing style, I still interpret `return a` as a special case with respect to control flow due to the indentation. `return b`, on the other hand, is on the "happy path" — if this wasn't simply a max function, I&

It’s explained in the post. To summarize: the Go team felt it would be best if users developed the tooling to solve the problem rather than having an official solution. This resulted in too many solutions, which is itself a non-solution. Pr

Bjarne's guidance has always been to use exceptions only in truly exceptional circumstances. A function that might occasionally fail on bad user input could instead return a std::optional and be marked noexcept (assuming it really do

The commenter to which you’re replying is arguing that the cognitive overhead in developing a microservice even in C++ isn’t so bad compared to, say, Go. It doesn’t seem to be an advertisement for C++ or a condemnation of Rust.
