I do really like C++.
And yes, this would work.

Many Rust shills seem to have some rust in their brain...
These trolley problem memes are getting harder and harder to understand
Seems like solar power with extra steps lol.
(Sun -> Plants -> Food for people/other food)
How do you produce the coffee to power the rust users?
Aren't they powered by the sheer spite they generate at hearing the loudspeaker?
Believe it or not, also the sun!
That's the critical question!
Does the solar power the speaker and the turbine is the power generation? Does this turbine produce more power than the solar powering the speaker?
C++ is pretty alright, IMO, but the syntax is kinda clunky though, I think probably because of some historical baggage.
That and the weird aversion to introducing new or useful keywords, or even extending the symbol set that doesn't even use full ASCII.
Word! The whole snafu with co_routines has been quite the laughable show. It would have been trivially sortable if C++ did something like what PHP did, using a symbol to absolutely disambiguate what is a variable and what is not. That way eg.: await is a keyword, $await is a variable (perhaps a functor).
To make it even better, $ is already unused in C++!
Correct. Backwards compatibility is both its biggest asset and its bigger problem.
In syntax alone, you can check what Herb Sutter is doing with cppfront. Specifically, the wiki page on the postfix operators is quite enlightening. It shows some interesting examples of how by making everything a postfix operator you drop the need of -> and the duality of pre/post increment and decrement operators.
C++: you sure you want to do this? This will either: a) blow your foot off b) be too fast to be measured in micro-benchmarks.
b. B. B. a. then B.
You have chosen to simultaneously blow your arm off and be the fastest code thing on the planet. Congrats. Yes.
Seriously. Try publishing anything not written in Rust nowadays and you WILL get multiple "bUt baut mUh rUsT??? 1?1!! 11!1!" Comments.
