“Why C and C++ are Awful Programming Languages”
What (relatively) easy to implement features would you like to see in C++23?
Possibility of adding operators to handle nullptr easier ("??", “?->”)
Purely academic purposes Compile-time Turing Machine in C++20
C++ HTML
“Why is C++ so terrible when it comes to date/time manipulation?”
Spoiler: it isn’t
Is Zero a Butterfly?
Polymorphism Decision Table
Infix Function Calls with Boost HOF
Before
1const bool b = isPrefixOf(prefix, text);
After
1const bool b = prefix <isPrefixOf> text;
YAVE: Functional reactive visual programming language written in C++20
Adding elements to arrays and changing variables during compilation – imperative meta-metaprogramming in C++
Data-Oriented Design and Avoiding the C++ Object-Oriented Programming Zimmer Frame
std::optional and other useful types
Variants suck. But you can get good performance with esoteric tricks. And even if you don’t use them well, they’ll still be faster than virtual inheritance
With std::variant, you choose either performance or sanity
