I wish C++ has a universal dependency manager like crates. It feels like every external library I want to use requires their own exotic setup.

Maybe not viable for personal vehicles but I can see hydrogen fuel used for trucks/ships. Electric batteries are probably too heavy and take too long to recharge for long haul.

Doesn't matter which is more common. All actively developed languages eventually get new keywords and breaking changes. However, most of them will not interfere with existing code running under previously defined behaviors. Even node 1

How is that any different than any language introducing a new keyword that existing code previously used as variable names? Normally this wouldn't break anything since the developer has to opt in to update the compiler/runtime. Th

I don't think the comma usage was wrong. The commas around "and in some cases" serve as both serializing the list and inserting the extra information that otherwise could've been removed from the sentence. However, it mi
