Herb Sutter - Peering forward C++’s next decade

[@jamesdowner]

I'm excited to see C++ become so powerful and intuitive. I learned C++98 during my undergrad (2016-2020) which was great, but since embracing modern C++, it's been an absolute blast

[@dadisuperman3472]

What is more intuitive and declarative this:
// select all member function of
// struct options
auto mem_funs = select * as foo from Options where std::is_mem_function_v and std::is_public and not std::is_static;
Or what was presented in the video?

27:00 how does this work? Shouldn't you need the null terminator?

[@_shogun]

The stack is probably initialized to all zero by the runtime, so the print will read out the buffer but into a 0

[@ZaneMouakket]

@_shogun Ahh. That makes sense, thank you!

[@gogdarag]

Just use a simple keyword for gods sake. Unfortunately c++ is becoming an emoji language. What is next?

[@cuda_weekly]

The problem with using keywords is that it turns what was an available identifier into a reserved word. Also, C++ != Pascal.

[@KhalilEstell]

That would break code.

[@IsaacKripke]

C++ already has nearly 100 keywords in addition to “identifiers with special meaning”. At some point a line has to be drawn.

[@metaltyphoon]

@@IsaacKripkewait till you find out Swift have over 200 keywords

[@IsaacKripke]

@metaltyphoon the COBOL standard has over 300 keywords, with some dialects having 2-3x more.
