alt Hacker Newshow would you write something like
#include <print>
#include <map>
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
using namespace std::literals;
std::string foo = "foo:";
foo += argv[0];
std::map<std::string, int> m{
{foo, 123}
, {"count: "s + std::to_string(argc), 456}
};
std::println("{}", m);
}
Sure, there are nice parts of C++. And there are also brain-dead parts that add needless complexity such as:
* rvalue references
* the difference between auto, decltype, typeof
* unreadable template monstrosities
* various different flavors of "smart" pointer
* the continued existence of footguns relating to UB, dangling pointers, unexpected temporary lifetimes, etc
* total absence of a build system or package management
* legacy APIs that still take raw pointers
* concepts, a half-assed attempt at generic constraints
