In my opinion this syntax is super good, it allows to have all functions/method names starting at the same level, it’s way easier to read the code that way, huge readability improvement imo. Sadly nobody uses this and you still have the classic way so multiple ways to do the same thing…

This has been valid C++ since C++ 11

As someone who quit c++ over 15 years ago it's been comical to watch what this language has become.

i was sincerely hoping i could get

    auto main(argc, argv) -> int
         int argc;
         char **argv;

It's like calling a Ford Mustang Mach-E the "Model T++."

It's been the go-to syntax for 15 years now

And their code example doesn't actually return a value!
