   It has some pluses, I miss an updated version of "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System", but it is understable there are other priorities and putting such a book out is lots of work for very little money,

   Unfortunately the hardware support isn't there for many systems. If I had to pick a BSD, it would be FreeBSD anyway.

   Try to debug a CMake file, do hot code reloading for C++, or debug release binaries with Emacs/vim. Just three examples out of many others.

   What I see where I am standing is that many don't code anything more, they get shown the door instead. Because between SaaS, iPaas, Vercel, Nelify, Workato, Boomi, automatic translations, content generation, among many other tools, the

   Yes, because it is completely wrong. It isn't writing C++ as Java, it is writing C++ as it was common between 1990 and 2011, before C++11 and other programming techniques took over in the C++ world, highly influenced by Andrei Alexandr

   Yes, and? First of all they were extremely buggy back then, as anyone that actually used Stepanov's original implementation, from HP with docs hosted at SGI, will remember. Secondly, Turbo Vision, OWL, VCL, MacApp, PowerPlant, Tools.h+

   Especially in systems where CHERI, MTE, ADI and similar harware isn't available.

   I guess it is the imaginary security that WebAssembly advocates tend to sell, without telling the part that linear memory segments don't have bounds checking within their internals.

    To be fair, C++ isn't alone in this, lets go back into the 1970 and 1980's and compare OOP languages, including failing ones, and FP languages as well, to see how common many of those terms have prevailed to modern times, in what

    C++ literature, it was common all the way back before the standard came to be. Example, Turbo C++ manual from 1990, 8 years before the standard. It is no different from several languages having their own meaning for functor, e.g. it has thr

    Now try to visually display all the threads being executed and the dependency graph who launched each thread. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/usin... Followed by doing some code change

    Looks pretty much the same from the docs.

    I have been coding since 1986, pleny of futures have come by. Eventually you learn to figure out which gold diggers will get lucky when the caravan crosses town.

    Point taken, in that regard yeah, different design decisions are always interesting to look into.

    Of course you do, it depends on how the application architecture looks like. I also have my share of hobby coding in Rust.

    Yes, have I said otherwise? It is a book that plenty think it has Java in it, no it has Smalltalk and C++ and was published before Java came to be as you point out. The decade was about the book publishing date, rather all the C++ framewo

    It is a heads up given how many Rusties downplay the role of C++ in the industry, including their own compiler.

    by pjmlp 6mo ago

    Yes you can, you only need to adopt modern C++ with concepts, compile time execution and now compile time reflection.

    While Rust is a good improvement, without C++ there isn't Rust compiler, at least for the forseable future.

    Only on conference slides maybe, real production code looks quite different, including game engines like Unreal and Godot. CUDA frameworks, V8, LLVM and GCC, you name it.

    90's C++ you mean, a decade before Java came to be, and responsible for famous books like GoF.

    I can tell my company wants nothing with them.

    Not at all, given their availability across the globe, and prices in tier 2 and 3 countries.

    An Isac Asimov book about a spaceship stranded in space without anyone on the team having the knowledge to repair it comes to mind.

    No it doesn't, unless it magically got them since XEmacs, with someone taking the effort to duplicate all features in ELisp. Running gdb as subprocess, with breakpoints, step, run, continue, is the basic stuff.

    Yes I have read that, and whatever, some people rather walk straight away, because waiting for the car to warm up takes a few minutes. I have IDE tooling experience since Borland products for MS-DOS, and plenty of programming editors as wel

    Me too, however this is another case of exchanging IDE for text editor without understanding what is being lost, or never having used the IDE to its full potential in first place, thus not knowing what is being left behind.
