C++98 vs. C++20

#shorts

[maboesanman]

The issue isn’t that the syntax isn’t nice enough. The issue is that there are too many ways to do everything, so reading code is a pain in the ass cause you need to know everyone’s favorite ways of doing things

[danchovanes]

C++ is a bit like a Swiss army knife that's been retrofitted to also include a full CNC machine and professional French kitchen.

C++ in production and C++ in books and universities are two different things)))

Just like in biology everything eventually evolves to crab, in IT, everything evolves to bash script.

[e]

Or in C99
for ( int i = from; i < to; ++i ) { if ( predicate(data[i]) ) printf(data[i]); }

Not that I disagree that C++20 is clearer than C++98, we just have different mentality about what simplicity is.
That said: great hair!

This isn't actually a rust concept. It exists in most functional languages - Clojure, Elixir, F# to name a few.

C++20 trying its best to be better than ever before
Rust: *You're about 36 years late*

At times it feels like modern C++ is a completely different language.

Advantages using plain C:
+ Simpler syntax
+ Less redundant hidden library calls
+ Smaller executable
+ Easy-to-manage function exports
+ No export mangling that makes VC++ incompatible with G++
... and more.

I'd really love a new C++ subset language that removed features and maybe added some formatting standards too. Sometimes less is more.

The language has gotten to the point where I prefer reading plain C.

Edit: clarity

This comment was edited as it wasn't correct. See discussion below for details.

Original comment:
~~~C++20 variant uses unneeded memory allocations and maybe calls copy constructors. Last one is unclear. There's nothing wrong with C++20 itself, but you still have to think when you use it. Otherwise there is not much sense in using C++. You'll just lose all performance benefits with a sloppy code like this.~~~

Jesus this language has turned into a nightmare.

[alphaprimal]

I guess c++, removed its rust, to become like rust

[adershvarshnei]

Meanwhile in India, we are still taught using Turbo C++.

Can someone give me resources to the C++20 example lines 18–22? I feel like reading an entirely different language lol

[Mariomm_marti]

"this code is hard to understand", bro you are using three lines for a for statement wtf

[jorisbonson]

"In c++ 20 we can just say what we want to do"... erm, yeah - as we did in c++98

i don't get the unreadable argument . how hard is it to read a for loop or the function name . and deduce it from that . i feel like we've come to the point of beating a dead horse in countless ways . these javascript devs have made it illegal to write a regular for loop in favor of "functional" . no thanks keep your functional higher order bs out of my face .

[CallumAtwal]

Functional programming really is taking over imperative
