There are some more important features as well
1. Binary literals
2. if constexpr
3. Nested namespace

[YSoreil]

I just now realize how many C++ 17 features I already took for granted. Structured bindings and if with initializer are big ones. I use the modern if all the time. I wrote a lot of Go before C++ 17 so I was very happy to see C++ finally adopt that feature. Stringview is the one thing I have never used so far I'll have to try it out some day.

Another great episode! Every time I see the notification for C++ weekly I am "Guaranateed" to learn something.

[NoNameAtAll]

Just want to remind that "inline static" for static members happened in c++17 also
No more need to create nice class only to add some additions outside of it just for sake of it

[LesleyLai]

I love the features that makes meta programming more "normal." Fold expression belongs to that category.

[AxelStrem]

at 0:40 subtitles say "The number one thing that I want to mention is guaranteed COPULATION"... I knew C++ was the right choice for me

[yackawaytube]

Every language has added structural binding.... welcome to the club C++17

[codyheiner]

Is there a way to, or has there been discussion around structured bindings without hiding the types? Some way to write [ int x, int y ] = my_point;

[coreywn]

Structured bindings! I didn’t know that was a thing!!

[undercrackers]

I used to work with C++ quite a lot in the 90's. For the last 15 years I have worked mostly with C and Java. I am now looking at C++ again for a big project and thinking that the people governing the language have taken a difficult language, made it more difficult and then wrapped it in impenetrable nomenclature for good measure. So, back to C I guess.

[timhaines]

I'm surprised `if constexpr` didn't make the list, given its ability to, in some cases, completely remove SFINAE overhead. I really like if-init because it reduces scope, but I really hate it because no matter how you format it, its presence really interrupts the flow of reading code.

[Embedonix]

so far, 3 people have confirmed they are using c++98

[gast]

Nice additions but for me the clear winner is the parallel STL. In general C++ is still lacking in libraries which is a weak spot compared to Java and .NET when you are developing applications.

[MrAbrazildo]

8:40, would C++17 accept *std::pair values {1, 2}*, deducing the template args?

[simonhrabec]

For std::array is it possible to only deduce the size and not the type?

[atetraxx]

Hey Jason, trying to find an entry point for C++ from being a designer for years. I like your teahing style but cant find an entry point. Even with this video im not sure many of the terms you're referring to. Do you have any videos that are even more basic as a starting point?

[MrNiceOne]

C++ 17 feature I use the most is:
auto & f = foos.emplace_back();

[DrMcCoy]

I just wish structured bindings had a way to tell it that one element isn't used, i.e. to silence the -Wunused* warnings

[RichardBaileyrichoncode]

What is the scratchpad tool? Love seeing the asm at the right to verify what is happening.

[Slayeah]

Also the flag "-fno-elide-constructors" does not work anymore, right? It is now guaranteed.
