I have to admit... after doing so much C++, most of that sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

[OveSvensson]

So many great ideas that I can use the next time I submit code for review. I’m sure my colleges will appreciate it.

This looks like the beginning of an awesome april fools prank commit.

[Carewolf]

MADNESS!! I love it.. Almost as crazy as east-const notation.

[OveSvensson]

This must be the funniest c++ presentation ever.

[seancpp]

He also didn't mention that you can use <% and %> instead of { and } everywhere in C++

6:08 this is actually not that dump after all: but please generate an alias on compl like #define destr compl and then you can write "dest foo();" which would honestly be no bad thing at all except that macros are a bit ugly in 2019 so you have to comeup with something more elaborate...

It's funny that c++ has alternative syntax for &&, ~ and even for { and #, but not for ==.
If I was making a language —something like is_eq would be the first alternative symbol I'd implement just to make sure that you cant “if(A=0)”accidentally and only can do that deliberately.

Please, for the love of anything you might love, use Lavalier microphones for your presenters next time. Or tie them down so they can't face away from the microphone.

I started laughing but ended up crying lmao

I love the fonts from those old pdfs. Its Knuth's right ?

[thesanctuary]

cpp is crazy hard language.
I've learned cpp, but I cannot write a simplist code at all.
c++ contains two hard language(C, and C++), as a result, Crazy Hard language C++ came out!

[GeorgeTsiros]

and people look at me weird when i say that i prefer visual basic, pascal, oberon and ansi c to cpp... cpp has become like a bastard child between perl and c nowadays.
