Initialisation in modern C++ - Timur Doumler

[@treyquattro]

re: p0960: Nicolai tells us to always use {} for initialization everywhere! C++ continues to get more complicated and confusing with every release.

Tell your camera man to just zoom out instead of panning every other second.

Oh my god, I wanted to scream when Foo foo{} calls default constructor instead of initalizer_list overload. at 38:40 :)

[@pavelperina7629]

auto i20 = static_cast(42); // because according to some static analysis tools case i12 is not cool and modern enough

[@mwont]

This is madness. The fact that C++ does not want to break backward compatibility hurts the language.

[@timurdoumler4813]

But backward compatibility is also a huge strength which many other programming languages lack.
